Michelle Obama Taking ‘Becoming’ Book Tour To Arenas In 10 U.S. Cities [TOUR SCHEDULE]

Michelle Obama is set to publish a new memoir this fall, and the 10-city tour schedule for the book was announced this week.

The 54-year-old former first lady’s book Becoming is due for release on Nov. 13 — exactly one week after the midterm elections — and she will make appearances at venues around the nation for a series of Live Nation-produced talks called “An Intimate Conversation with Michelle Obama.”

The tour will start in Obama’s hometown of Chicago on the day the memoir is released, and will end in Dallas, Texas on Dec. 17. The wife of former President Barack Obama announced Wednesday in a video on Twitter that she had finally completed her most recent project.

I’m done with my book! I’ve learned a lot about myself and I’d like to share my story of BECOMING—the plainness, the blemishes, the crazy turns—with you on my book tour, beginning 11/13 in Chicago.

“Over this time that I’ve been out of the White House, I’ve had time to think and reflect for the first time in a long time,” she stated in the video. “And I spent some time really thinking about the people, and the stories and the experiences that have shaped me and helped me become the person I am today. And I am proud of what I’ve created. I’m proud because it is candid, it’s honest, it is totally and utterly me.”

Obama continued: “I’m hoping that, because of this book, others feel the power of their own voice and their own story. Not in the big moments, but in the little things, the small moments, the bumps, the bruises, the highs and the lows — because those are the things that make us uniquely who we are.”
