Michelle Obama, the former First Lady of the United States, has clinched the prestigious Grammy Award for her exceptional work in the Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording category. This victory secures her second Grammy, recognizing 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 triumphed over notable contenders, including Meryl Streep, Senator Bernie Sanders, William Shatner, and Rick Rubin.

Released in November 2022, the acclaimed book delves into Michelle’s life, unraveling moments of uncertainty and shining a light 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. Interestingly, Michelle was absent from the awards ceremony.

This isn’t Michelle’s inaugural Grammy; she previously secured the same accolade in 2020 for her memoir, “Becoming.” In the preceding year, her husband, former President Barack Obama, earned 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 worldwide. Barack Obama’s Emmy win, combined with his two Grammy Awards, positions him halfway toward the coveted EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards). Additionally, he stands as only the second U.S. president in history to receive an Emmy.

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