Michelle Obama, the former First Lady of the United States, secured a notable Grammy Award for her exceptional contributions in the Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording category. This triumph signifies her second Grammy win, acknowledging her audiobook titled “The Light We Carry: Overcoming In Uncertain Time.”

The announcement unfolded during the pre-show of the 2024 Grammy Awards on Sunday, where Michelle outshone prominent contenders including Meryl Streep, Senator Bernie Sanders, William Shatner, and Rick Rubin.

Published in November 2022, the acclaimed book delves into Michelle’s life, exploring moments of uncertainty and spotlighting her journey from being a rare African American undergraduate to attaining the historic role of the first African American First Lady of the United States. Remarkably, Michelle was not in attendance during the awards ceremony.

This isn’t Michelle’s first Grammy accolade; she previously secured the same honor in 2020 for her memoir, “Becoming.” Meanwhile, in the preceding year, her husband, former President Barack Obama, received the best narrator Emmy Award for his Netflix documentary series, “Our Great National Parks.”

Their production company, Higher Ground, spearheaded the documentary series across five parts, showcasing the natural beauty of national parks globally. Barack Obama’s Emmy win, coupled with his two Grammy Awards, positions him halfway towards the distinguished EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards). Additionally, he stands as only the second U.S. president in history to achieve an Emmy.

The Netflix series provided a visually captivating journey through the breathtaking landscapes of five continents, featuring locations such as Chilean Patagonia and Indonesia.
