Michelle Obama to speak with college students nationwide

NEW YORK (AP) — Michelle Obama’s next promotion for her memoir “Becoming” will center on college students.

The former first lady will appear Nov. 9 at 1 p.m. with “Black-ish” actor Yara Shahidi for a livestream conversation with students from 22 schools throughout the country, from Cal Poly Pomona to Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Maryland, from where Obama and Shahidi will speak.

BET plans to televise the event at a later date, to be determined.

“I can’t wait to hear from students across our country as they navigate their studies and lives during this unprecedented time,” Obama said in a statement Monday.

“As a first-generation college student myself, I remember my own struggles to manage classes and figure out my place on campus — and I can’t even imagine how much harder it is to do it during a pandemic, when so much feels like it’s constantly up in the air. I just hope they realize that moments of self-doubt and fear are completely natural, but if we embrace those moments — if we own our stories and use our voices — we can share the very best parts of ourselves with the world.”

I had the 'pleasure' of listening to Moochie speak at my daughter's college graduation back in 2012.

Her brother Craig was the Oregon State University's men's basketball coach, (and a crappy one).

98% of her speech was about how poor and oppressed she was growing up.

Democrats do self-promote. But to be fair, they have nothing onPresident Trump in that regard.
