Michelle Obama

It takes a very big name to pack an arena with fans, but Michelle Obama seems to be up to the task. The former First Lady will celebrate the release of her new memoir, Becoming, with a string of conversations about the contents of her new book and life after leaving the White House. Obama will kick off her North American book tour at the United Center, where Oprah Winfrey will join her to discuss her journey from the South Side of Chicago to Washington D.C., as well as the public and private experience she's had along the way. Given the location of this appearance, you might even hear some tidbits about her plans for the forthcoming Obama Presidential Library in Hyde Park.
