In the accompanying caption, she wrote, “This book is a collection of stories and practices that have helped me sort through all the challenges and questions that keep us up at night: How do I know I’m good enough? How do I bring my whole self to the table? How can I overcome my fears?

“I never thought I would be the author of one book, let alone two. But I’ve found that writing this has been a way for me to gather my thoughts and find more clarity during this time. So, I hope this book means as much to you as it does to me.”

In the book, according to a press release, Michelle Obama will address the critical topics in today’s political and social landscape and issues related to race, gender, and visibility.

“The Light We Carry” will be released on November 15th.
