By Ifeanyi Ndukwe, The Nigerian Voice Entertainment

After receiving critical acclaims and Grammy awards for her best-selling memoir 'Becoming,' Michelle Obama will now be releasing a second book.

The book set to release on Nov. 15, The Light We Carry "offers readers a series of fresh stories and insightful reflections on change, challenge, and power," according to a statement released by Obama's representatives.

The promised page-turner aims to unite its readers who, together, can build pathways towards progress even during trying and challenging times.

"I've learned it's okay to recognize that self-worth comes wrapped in vulnerability, and that what we share as humans on this earth is the impulse to strive for better, always and no matter what,"

"We become bolder in brightness. If you know your light, you know yourself. You know your own story in an honest way."

She continued, "Self-knowledge builds confidence, which in turn breeds calmness and an ability to maintain perspective, which leads, finally, to being able to connect meaningfully with others—and this to me is the bedrock of all things. One light feeds another. One strong family lends strength to more. One engaged community can ignite those around it. This is the power of the light we carry."

Obama addresses the pressing topics that are sweeping across our country's current political and social landscape. She "explores issues connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging readers to work through fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness," according to the release.

Markus Dohle, CEO of Penguin Random House under which the book will be released said Penguin Random House is honored to partner once again with Michelle Obama and to help bring her powerful storytelling and earned wisdom to readers everywhere.

"I am confident that her new book will provide all of us with some urgently needed reassurance while rekindling a spirit of optimism about the power we all hold to positively shape our personal and collective futures."
