I was lucky enough to grow up surrounded by relatives—grandparents, aunties, uncles, cousins, and more—with stories to tell and a willingness to share them. Over the years, through these conversations, I learned that I was the descendant of slaves—my grandfather’s grandmother lived her life in bondage. Discovering that slavery was a part of my family’s story was painful and sobering. Like many African Americans, reflecting on this dark part of our history is never comfortable. And it still opens up wounds that many of us still aren’t ready to deal with just yet. But to this day, I am so grateful for the chance to hear about my ancestors. Because despite how difficult it was to hear some of them, it helped me develop a greater sense of self—and gave me motivation to keep going, work my hardest, and be the best that I could be. I want my story to honor theirs. I want to make the most of my opportunities when so many who came before me had so few. And that’s why the film Descendant on Netflix means so much to me. It comes from our production company, @HigherGroundMedia, and it tells the story of the descendants of the survivors of the Clotilda, which is believed to be the last ship that carried enslaved Africans to the United States. To me, the film is about navigating the delicate parts of our history—and the power that comes from learning about the people who came before you. It’s about reclaiming our stories—and owning them for ourselves. Have you had a chance to check it out? Did it make you reflect about your own ancestry, too? I’d love to know if there is an ancestor of yours who has influenced your life. Tell me more in the comments and join the Descendant Challenge by sharing photos and more about your family history using the hashtag #DescendantChallenge. I wanted to share these photos of various members of my family with all of you. I can’t wait to hear about your story, too.

I wanted to share these photos of various members of my family with all of you. I can’t wait to hear about your story, too. I never could have imagined that the phrase “when they go low, we go high” would become synonymous with my name. So, over the six years since I said those words at the Democratic National Convention, I’ve had a lot of time to reflect about the concept more broadly. And in The Light We Carry, I wrote about it. For a long time, “going high” was a simple mantra that Barack and I used to encourage each other. It was a simplification of our ideals, everything we’d gleaned from our upbringings that had been simmered into us over time: Tell the truth, do your best by others, keep perspective, and find a way to stay tough through it all. And let’s be clear: Going high doesn’t mean doing nothing. It’s not disengagement or simply turning the other cheek. It’s about making your work count and your voice heard in a way that’s authentic to you and constructive for others. It’s about making sure your commitment to dignity and decency lights the way in everything you do—how you treat others, how you show up in the world, how you respond when your back’s against a wall. So as we wrap up this year and look to the start of a new one, let’s remember the power that lies in our words and our actions. Some folks are always going to try to bring us down. But the moment we stoop down to their level? That’s the moment we surrender our power to them. So for me, even when it’s hard, even when we don’t feel like we want to, going high will always be the answer. #TheLightWeCarry I never could have imagined that the phrase “when they go low, we go high” would become synonymous with my name.

In my book, The Light We Carry, I talk about how knitting has helped me learn so much about myself and stay grounded in a world full of big challenges. I often refer to this idea as “the power of small.” Over the past couple of years, I’ve knitted tops for my daughters, a sweater for Barack, and more. Here’s a photo of one of the first baby sweaters that I knitted for a friend. I’ve really grown to love spending time crafting something with my own hands—and, once it’s complete, seeing the joy spread across their face. What’s something you’ve made that’s given you the same feeling? #TheLightWeCarry When I first wrote #TheLightWeCarry, my hope was this book would help start conversations and inspire people to think of the tools they need to navigate life during times of uncertainty. I was thrilled to sit down with some inspiring women— @AngieMartinez, @KellyRowland, @MsTinaLawson, @WinnieHarlow and @HerMusicOfficial—to discuss themes in my book including everything from overcoming our fears, marriage, parenting and so much more.

Did you have a chance to check it out? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. I always love talking to Conan O’Brien! Take a listen to our conversation on his podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, as we chat about parenting, our hobbies, and my new book, The Light We Carry. Link in bio. I had so much fun on my book tour! Thank you to my incredible friends for leading such wonderful conversations in each city and for passing the book to one another. Tag the people that you plan to share #TheLightWeCarry within your life! ✨ I was thrilled to discuss #TheLightWeCarry with some inspiring Black women. Take a look at our conversation as we discussed our kitchen tables and the power of friendship: From breaking down barriers to higher education to helping students manage their mental and emotional health, school counselors play powerful roles in the lives of young people around our country. As a parent, it means a lot to know that our kids have school counselors to turn to for support as they explore their futures. That’s why I could not be prouder to honor the counseling team at Woodrow Wilson High School in Los Angeles, CA, for being the winner of the 2023 Excellence In College Counseling Award given by @ReachHigher, @CommonApp, and Collegewise. Wilson’s College Corner team, led by Elsa Gutierrez-Aviles, helped increase their school’s FAFSA submission rate by over 300% compared to this time last year. They also went above and beyond to help their students manage the stress of home and school life by setting up a “Mule Closet”—a free and confidential closet students can use to access clothing, hygiene products, and school supplies. I was so inspired to learn about the creative and innovative solutions these educators are using to help their students succeed. Congratulations to this incredible team of changemakers at Woodrow Wilson High School. Looking forward to seeing how you support your students in the years ahead! #ReachHigher #EICC23 🎓🎉 From breaking down barriers to higher education to helping students manage their mental and emotional health, school counselors play powerful roles in the lives of young people around our country.

This #MLKDay, the @ObamaFoundation organized a day of service on the South Side of Chicago. I’m inspired by the folks who are taking action today in Chicago and across the United States. 💙 Dr. King’s voice rang out with a call for people to work together toward a better tomorrow.

The fight for our democracy is no different, and it calls on each and every one of us to take part. This #MLKDay, I hope you will join me in honoring the life and legacy of Reverend. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by taking at least one action to support and uplift your community—whether it’s volunteering to tutor students at your local school or texting three friends to remind them to check their voter registration through @WhenWeAllVote. There are so many ways to give back and I hope you’ll make a commitment to do just that this year.

One year ago today, @WhenWeAllVote and 30 partner organizations came together and pledged to: 📣 Recruit and train volunteers 🗳️ Register, educate, and turn out voters ✊🏾 Fight for voting rights We asked you to join us and you did. Last year, over 100,000 of you volunteered with When We All Vote to register two million voters (double our goal!), and more than 4,000 lawyers donated more than 45,000 hours of free legal services to protect voting rights. And we’re not done just yet. When We All Vote is fired up to continue this work in 2023 and beyond—we are so grateful to the volunteers, community organizations, and individuals who have joined us in this fight.
