Former first lady Michelle Obama said Friday her upcoming memoir “Becoming” is a “re-humanization effort” that she hopes will give voice to people who feel voiceless.

Obama made the remarks as she helped kick off the American Library Association’s annual conference in New Orleans. Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla Hayden moderated the conversation before an estimated crowd of 8,000 inside the city’s convention center.

Obama shared snippets from the book, including the experiences that have shaped her, from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive and her time at the White House.

or does rehumanizing, mean that she felt dehumanized before? What is she really saying?

Go to hell Michelle and take your dog-twaddle book with you.

I read the piece... it's probably a book worth reading. She's not talking about the usual liberal ‘victim groups’ that we constantly hear ago... Michelle Obama talking about real people - many who are voiceless...

I predict Michelle’s memoir is going to be 300-400 pages of complaints about how oppressed she thinks she is. How tough it is to jet around the world while black; to be waited on hand and foot while black; to wear expensive, bizarre, unflattering designer clothes while black; to be fawned over by the press while black; etc.

““re-humanization effort” that she hopes will give voice to people who feel voiceless.”

Many of us have felt voiceless for a long time, and now that we have a President who speaks for us, you don't like it.

He said he doesn't want anything removed, but he wants to look like a girl.

Alrighty then.

Their combined advance was what, 60 million?

I would say that the Obuma's made out like lottery winners.

(If ya'll remember he complained about rich Republicans "winning life's lottery.")

Giving voice to the voiceless? Too late. Trump’s already done that.

How many times has she tried to reinvent herself? She has no idea who she is anymore.

Nobody wants to read about a transwookie.

I don't know - I don't speak Wookie. :-)

Wookies are people, too.

Apparently.
