Whenever our forever First Lady, Michelle Obama does anything we are always there to support, show up and show out. She inspires us in so many ways and has always remained graceful in everything that she does. If you can’t attend the book tour for ‘The Light We Carry,” then you need to watch her new special airing exclusively on Revolt!
Revolt just announced that that it will air an original special, REVOLT x Michelle Obama: The Cross Generational Conversation on Wednesday, December 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
The 2-hour special was taped in the state-of-the-art REVOLT STUDIOS at the Atlanta headquarters and features an intimate discussion between the 44th First Lady Michelle Obama and an influential panel of powerful women of color, including Grammy Award winning recording artists H.E.R. and Kelly Rowland, supermodel-activist Winnie Harlow, businesswoman Tina Knowles-Lawson, and moderated by radio host Angie Martinez.
The multigenerational conversation spotlights the former First Lady’s insights on mother-daughter dynamics, the power of fatherhood and choosing a partner as the panel discusses her new bestseller, “The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times.”
When we share our stories and open ourselves up, we not only build connections with other people, we bring out the best in ourselves,” said former First Lady Michelle Obama. “That’s why I couldn’t be more thrilled to join REVOLT and this extraordinary group to talk about what it means to be a woman of color in America.”
REVOLT x Michelle Obama: The Cross Generational Conversation comes off the heels of Obama’s newly released book, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times, where she offers readers deep reflections on change, challenge and power For women – particularly women of color – this book institutes a new frame of thinking and guidance for lifting their voices in a world that may often prefer their silence.
Obama’s book perfectly sets the tone for the REVOLT special, giving the panel of women of color an opportunity to be vulnerable, celebrate sisterhood, and be heard and seen by each other along with the millions of viewers that continue to tune into REVOLT programming.
