Former First Lady, Michelle Obama, was recently seen in a vibrant Maxhosa dress flaunting a spectrum of colors at a book release event. She completed the look with gold bangles, oversized hoops, and her hair styled in braids tied in a side-parted ponytail.
The Book Release Event
The event in question was for the paperback release of her much-acclaimed book, The Light We Carry. Published in October 2023, the book has garnered attention for shedding light on practical wisdom and strategies to navigate uncertainty. Michelle encourages readers to engage in discussions about the book on social media platforms, using the hashtag #TheLightWeCarry.
The Light We Carry – A Look Inside
The Light We Carry explores the themes of change, challenge, and power, with an underlying message that helping others can be a pathway to personal progress and self-discovery. The book gives readers a glimpse into Michelle's personal life, including her bond with her family.

Michelle throws light on her daughters, Malia and Sasha's bond and their journey to becoming successful young women despite the unique challenges of growing up in the White House. While Michelle and Barack Obama reside in Washington D.C., Malia and Sasha have chosen Los Angeles as their home.
Insights on Malia and Sasha
During an appearance on Today with Hoda and Jenna in November 2022, Michelle shares her joy in visiting her daughters in LA.
