The Meaning of Michelle

January LaVoy and Prentice Onayemi narrate 16 personal reflections on Michelle Obama's positive effect on women, race relations, motherhood, fashion, and, as partner and staunch supporter of her husband, President Barack Obama. In many essays, refreshing humor adds a lighthearted touch while others consider Michelle's more serious legacy to the country. LaVoy and Onayemi offer terrific performances of each essay--from the tempting menu for the Obamas' first State dinner, described in Chef Marcus Samuelsson's "Cooking With a Narrative," to more personal reflections such as Damon Young's "Crushing on Michelle" and Tanisha Ford's "She Slays." As they deliver this inspiring, diverse look at the well-loved, much admired former first lady, the two gifted narrators make this fascinating collection a must-listen.
