Premiering this month, the former First Lady is set to headline an original YouTube special called \u201cBookTube.\u201d During the program, Michelle Obama will discuss her memoir <\/b>Becoming<\/i><\/b> with a panel of education-based YouTubers including Franchesca Ramsey, Ariel Bissett, and Jouelzy. \u00a0The discussion will be moderated by <\/b>The Fault in our Stars<\/i><\/b> author John Green.<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cBookTube\u201d will contain seven 10-minute chapters, each filled with thoughtful questions for Michelle Obama. Last week, she announced the exciting news on <\/b>Twitter<\/b><\/a> and encouraged users to send her questions about her memoir. The YouTube creators also expressed their enthusiasm over the opportunity. Franchesca Ramsey, who is also the executive producer and host of the MTV series <\/b>Decoded <\/i><\/b>and the author of Well, That Escalated Quickly: Memoirs and Mistakes of an Accidental Activist, told <\/b>Forbes<\/b><\/a>, \u201c<\/b>As a black woman, as an activist, and as an author, Michelle Obama is such an inspiration to me. So when YouTube reached out, I absolutely leapt at the chance to participate.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cAside from the amazing opportunity to speak with Michelle Obama, it’s great to encourage a broader audience to read more and particularly to be a voice that sits outside of the young adult scene that is most prevalent in the BookTube scene. I hope to encourage folks to read more modern Black women authors and critical theory,\u201d said Joulzey. <\/b><\/p>\n While no official date has been announced for the special, \u201cBookTube\u201d will be available to stream free of charge in honor of Women\u2019s History Month. <\/b><\/p>\n Becoming <\/i><\/b>was released in November of last year, and became a No. 1 New York Times bestseller after only one week of sales. Today, the book continues to hold first place on Amazon\u2019s Charts. Purchase a copy of Obama\u2019s memoir, which has been described as \u201cintimate, powerful, and inspiring,\u201d through<\/b> Amazon<\/b><\/a> or your local bookstore. <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Premiering this month, the former First Lady is set to headline an original YouTube special called \u201cBookTube.\u201d During the program, Michelle Obama will discuss her memoir Becoming with a panel of education-based YouTubers including Franchesca Ramsey, Ariel Bissett, and Jouelzy. \u00a0The discussion will be moderated by The Fault in our Stars author John Green. \u201cBookTube\u201d […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3851,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[594,595,592,31,63,593],"class_list":["post-3850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books-books","tag-becoming","tag-becoming-michelle-obama","tag-booktube","tag-featured","tag-michelle-obama","tag-youtube"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazine.watchjaro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazine.watchjaro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazine.watchjaro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazine.watchjaro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazine.watchjaro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/magazine.watchjaro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazine.watchjaro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazine.watchjaro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazine.watchjaro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazine.watchjaro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
