‘Becoming’ on Netflix




“So many of us go through life with our stories hidden, feeling ashamed or afraid when our whole truth doesn’t live up to some established ideal.” —Michelle Obama


I read Michelle Obama’s award-winning book Becoming and viewed the inspiring documentary on Netflix. She inspires millions of people globally to dare, dream, and achieve big in their lives. Here are some lessons you can learn from her.

Dream big. Take risks. Build connections. Work sincerely. Overcome distractions. Manage frustrations. Follow your passions. Be a storyteller. Focus more on stories and less on stats. Don’t worry about the others’ opinions because you alone know your true worth. Avoid seeking approval and validation from others. Above all, be optimistic.

Michelle Obama is a multi-faceted personality—lawyer, author, entrepreneur, mentor, and motivational speaker. She has her own opinions on multiple areas including education, politics, parenting, career, and nonprofits. Her life is an example of humility, humanity, and hope that inspires millions of people across the world.

The women of color are often undervalued and stereotyped. They are not recognized for their contributions. Yet Michell Obama made it big in her way. Of course, a little credit goes to Barack Obama who rose from humble origins and struggled to reach the office of the presidency.


"One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals." —Michelle Obama
