Michelle Obama, the former First Lady of the United States, clinched a coveted Grammy Award for her exceptional work in the Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording category. This victory marks 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 emerged victorious over notable contenders like Meryl Streep, Senator Bernie Sanders, William Shatner, and Rick Rubin.

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

This isn’t Michelle’s inaugural Grammy; she previously secured the same accolade 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 spanning five parts, showcasing the natural beauty of national parks worldwide. Barack Obama’s Emmy win, coupled with his two Grammy Awards, positions him halfway toward the esteemed 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 stunning journey through the breathtaking landscapes of five continents, featuring locations such as Chilean Patagonia and Indonesia.
