Maya Angelou’s autobiography is made up of seven parts. I loved all seven books. Each is unique—an easy yet captivating read.

Her stories allow us to learn about the struggles of African American people, especially African American women at that time. They teach us how they survived, laughed, and made the best of life despite immense challenges. Her work reminds us how privileged we are and to better appreciate what life has given us.

A Promised Land by Barack Obama

I think Obama had a good vision; only the country was not ready for him. He would have made the best president and would have done so much for the world in general if he were to be the president in 2028. Continue reading

Becoming by Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama, so much grace, so much wisdom, and yet so humble and down to earth. A woman with passion who shined despite her husband. I listened to the audio version of the book, and her narration was so good that at times I felt like I was in the same room with her, experiencing what she was talking about. Her closeness to her parents, her family, her husband, and her children is all remarkable. Continue reading
