Me & Michelle Obama

“Always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals.” Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama launched a podcast the week before I launched mine. So that must be a good sign!

And, there’s more I’d like to share…

Her life story is both inspiring and totally relatable. While reading her book, Becoming, the thought struck me that even though we come from completely different backgrounds, culture and history, there are so many things that I see paralleled in my own history and upbringing. The struggles of immigrant grandparents who placed a high value on academic learning. Growing up in an environment where you don’t always feel like you fit in, where you try to hide your background and just want to be like everyone else. There’s a lot in growing up Jewish that is resonant with stories of other minorities.

When I saw she launched her podcast so close to mine, I was excited. We are making a mark, having our say and getting our voices heard.

So, how are you making your voice heard?
