Michelle Obama is coming to Sacramento. Here is what you need to know.
Michelle Obama is coming to Sacramento next year, and you can see her.
The former first lady is set to participate in a moderated question and answer session Wednesday, April 1, at the Golden 1 Center. The moderator is yet to be announced.
She’s touring the country to promote her autobiography, “Becoming,” and she drew an audience of 12,000 at a recent stop in Detroit.
As first lady, Obama championed many causes, including addressing childhood obesity, supporting veterans and active duty service members and their families, inspiring young people to seek higher education and helping adolescent girls around the world go to school, according to a statement from Golden 1 Center.
Obama attended Princeton University and Harvard Law School, and was working as an attorney in Chicago when she met her future husband, Barack Obama. She has also worked for the Chicago mayor’s office, the University of Chicago and the University of Chicago Medical Center.
Obama published her memoir, “Becoming,” in 2018. The book “sold more copies than any other book published in the United States in 2018,” according to a Golden 1 Center statement. The book rose to the top of The New York Times Best Sellers List.
Tickets for the event go on sale Friday, Dec. 20, at 10 a.m. at Golden1Center.com and at Golden 1 Center’s Box Office.
