Michelle Obama BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Michelle Obama is making major waves this week with the launch of her new book and podcast series centered on fashion and personal style. Higher Ground, the media company she founded with Barack Obama, announced a six-part limited podcast series titled "IMO: The Look" that premieres November 5th, running weekly over six weeks according to ABC News and the San Francisco Chronicle. The podcast serves as a companion to her upcoming book "The Look," which hits shelves November 4th.

The book represents a stunning journey through her style evolution, from entering the public eye during Barack's Senate campaign through her groundbreaking tenure as the first Black First Lady and into her current role as one of America's most influential figures. Brooklyn Eagle reports that the project features perspectives from her trusted stylist Meredith Koop, makeup artist Carl Ray, and hairstylists Yene Damtew and Njeri Radway. Michelle explained that during their White House years, her appearance was constantly scrutinized, and she wanted to reclaim that narrative on her own terms.

The podcast lineup includes heavyweight guests like Jane Fonda, Elle Magazine editor-in-chief Nina Garcia, model and activist Bethann Hardison, Elaine Welteroth, and former J Crew executive Jenna Lyons. Michelle will host two live podcast tapings to celebrate the launch. The first happens November 5th at Brooklyn Academy of Music with Tracee Ellis Ross, where tickets start at seventy-five dollars unbundled or one hundred twenty-five dollars with a book copy. The second event takes place November 12th at Sixth and I in Washington DC with New York Times critic Wesley Morris, with tickets starting at around sixty-seven dollars according to Eventbrite.

On a personal note, Michelle and Barack recently celebrated their thirty-third wedding anniversary on October 3rd. Michelle posted to social media saying they've been on quite the journey and she loves him even more today than their wedding day, calling herself lucky to go through life with him. Barack responded that marrying her was the best decision he ever made, admiring her strength, grace and determination over these decades together.
