The Feminoires: Book Tribe (V)

Michelle Obama's 'Becoming' takes us on a journey from her seemingly ordinary childhood, to her more extraordinary life in public view. She explores topics such as race, education, sex, class, family life, drugs, work and the growth of our personhood. 

 In past sessions we have discussed the following quotes: 

“Failure is a feeling long before it becomes an actual result." 

"There were births, feuds and betrayals. There was hope, hatred and sometimes sex." 

"How come you talk like a white girl?"

“Friendships between women, as any woman will tell you, are built of a thousand small kindnesses... swapped back and forth and over again.”
