  • Penguin Talks is a series of free creative events which gives young people the opportunity to hear directly from, and question, some of Penguin’s most influential authors.
    In December 2018, former First Lady Michelle Obama addressed 250 students at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School in North London about empowerment through education and the important role of self-belief in achieving your goals. Her 2009 visit to the school was a key inspiration for her focus on education. Mrs Obama was in conversation with alumni from the school to mark the publication of her memoir, Becoming.

    I'm a 53 year old man in Mississippi in The United States of America. This whole conversation has been so nice to.hear. There is a very good reason or reasons for me to hear this. God bless you Ms. Michelle and the Rock of your household too.

    Ms. FLOTUS 44. You may, understandably, doubt my sincerity when I say YOU are the most remarkable, inspiring, and highest respected woman in the world as I view it. Please excuse me as I pull the entire shoe store from my mouth. I obviously have many regrets and owe numerous people my deepest apologies. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, patience, and time to make their statements without being rudely interrupted. All humanitarian speakers deserve this simple respect. However, a woman who has worked as hard as you have. Who has committed so many years educating yourself....... dedicated years of service, guided by your heart, moral compass, and passion to impact lives with the sole intention to help them understand and reach their greatest human potential................... A woman such as this deserves our best..... respect, patience, and understanding. We are lucky to get to hear thoughts and ideas. The world is a much better place because of you. I love and miss your family being in the White House. Thank you!

    This resonated with me so deeply. As a working class student who at a top university, I have a lived experience of exactly what Michelle said about impostor syndrome. It's reassuring and inspiring to see someone who has been through the challenges and overcame them ❤️

      Rinzin Dolkar Agreed...... I can’t imagine the positive impact I could have made in my life had I traveled and had the Obama’s as role models 30+ years ago. Love and respect your neighbors and don’t allow yourself to be affected by the barriers and adversity that others place in your paths.

    I went to fashion industries and the great thing they did the partner with designers and fashion companies to visit all the 11/12 graders. This was how I found out about Parsons school of design a private college for the elite, my teacher told me don’t apply you have to be rich and I applied and was 1 of 2 blacks that attended. Don’t let no one put a limit on you. Dream Big

    This is lovely and inspiring! Michelle Obama is loved. She is such a bright light and she radiates grace, grit and gravitas. She is honest, trustworthy, soulful, maternal and very warm. I want to meet her and show show her my unseen brain scans since I came out of my coma at Level 1 to help America with brain science. I was at WH with Chuck Close for the Obama’s Art and Humanity. I have in many ways made arts and humanity for Biden and Harris. I admire Michelle and hope to have the opportunity to meet her in person.

      I miss you all. l pray that maybe one day that they will open up another time and place to be president again Michelle sure can. But she would have to wait because Joe Biden listen to God and saved my life. Thank God for the vaccine shot... And you sat under the Former President Obama. A great.leader of all times.... l love you all and Jill Biden
      Our new President is wonderful! Hold on Harris....

    I'm of a color my little nephew calls pink, but you know I'm simply caucasian. Some of my heritage is of Holland. Rather, I'm speaking of Dutch. In the Crayola box as a white child in Mississippi in the 70's I thought I was peach.
