Former First Lady Michelle Obama announced the title of her hotly anticipated first memoir, Becoming, and it’s Nov. 13 release date—when it will be simultaneously published in 24 languages worldwide—in a statement to PEOPLE on Sunday. “Writing Becoming has been a deeply personal experience,” Obama says. “It has allowed me, for the very first time, the space to honestly reflect on the unexpected trajectory of my life … how a little girl from the South Side of Chicago found her voice and developed the strength to use it to empower others.”
The yet-unreleased book jacket portrait of the author, whose first book, the 2012 American Grown focused on her White House kitchen garden and nutrition initiatives as first lady, was taken by celebrity portrait photographer Miller Mobley, who gave People an exclusive preview from one of his shoots with Obama, 54.
In statement from Markus Dohle, CEO of Penguin Random House, the publisher of Obama’s upcoming book suggests that it will stretch the confines of a traditional former first-lady memoir the same way Obama’s official portrait for the Smithsonian did. “Becoming is an unusually intimate reckoning from a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same,” the publisher said.
Obama, whose husband, former president Barack Obama is writing his presidential memoir (for an expected 2019 release), will promote Becoming on a U.S. and international book tour, the publisher said, adding that 1 million books will be donated in the Obamas’ name to the educational nonprofit program called First Book.
In her limited number of public appearances since leaving the White House, Obama has given some hints about the book she’s been writing, saying primarily that she hopes it will be inspirational.

This portrait does not look like Michelle Obama and makes her look bland and lifeless.
Hotly anticipated.
By third graders and SJW majors.
A new Olympic event: Hurling
What, is she going to tell-all about living with a in-the-closet Muslim homosexual?
That’s an improvement.
Hussein and Mrs. Hussein sure do think highly of themselves.
Were she not such an ardent black nationalist like her husband ..maybe worse to be honest....aren’t they always?
Think Winnie Mandela ....
I’d give her a pass....she can’t help being so masculine and big but not in a svelte Elle Macpherson sorta way
But man she is angry
Lots black women do not much cotton to white folks especially white males
Weird to be honest
They’d be much better off statistically
Is she going to tell about how she changed from high school football player Michael Robinson
to college student Michelle Robinson?
It’s not enough to punish America..she is going worldwide.
Meaningless books. Money laundering for politicians.
It makes her grey, like a cadaver.
No blood circulation.
Black folks call that “ashy.”
Unusually intimate. She’s going to disclose how she is able to conceal her package when wearing a tight dress. Normally.
It will be required reading in schools that are run by crazy people.
“...and makes him look bland and lifeless....”
Fixed it.
On the day of the portrait’s undraping, the artist was so, so very proud of herself. It still looks unfinished.
For Michelle, it was far more important that the painter was a good Black Liberation Progressive, than a good artist.
