It is important to Mrs. Obama that her tour events are accessible to as many people as possible. That’s why, in partnership with Live Nation, Mrs. Obama is giving away a select number of community member tickets in each market. Additional details are forthcoming.
An inspiring follow-up to her critically acclaimed, #1 bestselling memoir Becoming, former First Lady Michelle Obama’s The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times,will be released globally on November 15, 2022.
In this new book, Mrs. Obama offers readers a series of fresh stories and insightful reflections on change, challenge, and power, including her belief that when we light up for others, we can illuminate the richness and potential of the world around us, discovering deeper truths and new pathways for progress. Drawing from her experiences as a mother, daughter, spouse, friend, and First Lady, she shares the habits and principles she has developed to successfully adapt to change and overcome various obstacles—the earned wisdom that helps her continue to “become.” She details her most valuable practices, like “starting kind,” “going high,” and assembling a “kitchen table” of trusted friends and mentors. With trademark humor, candor, and compassion, she also explores issues connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging readers to work through fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness.

“I
am so excited to share that I will be heading across the country soon
to talk with you all about my new book, The Light We Carry. I’m looking
forward to making some new connections—and of course, seeing some
familiar faces from the last tour,” said Mrs. Obama.
“This book means so much to me—it’s a collection of perspectives and practices I’ve used to keep me afloat amid uncertainty. On this tour, I’ll be sharing some personal stories and lessons that have helped me along my path, and I can’t wait to tell you more.”
“Following the incredible
success of her Becoming Tour, we are honored to be working with Mrs.
Obama again to bring The Light We Carry Tour to live audiences across
the US this fall,” said Tara Traub, Live Nation’s SVP of Global Touring.
