She was the winner of the Best Spoken Word Album Grammy in 2020
Michelle Obama won the Best Spoken Word Album award at the 2020 Grammys for the audiobook version of her 2018 biography. "Becoming", in addition to being a best-selling author and a former first lady of the United States, is known as one of the most important accomplishments of Michelle Obama. She competed against an oddball group of opponents, including the Beastie Boys' Michael Diamond and Adam Horovitz for Beastie Boys Book, Mr. Know-It-All director-performer John Waters, Eric Alexandrakis for I.V. Catatonia: 20 Years As A Two-Time Cancer Survivor, and Sekou Andrews for Sekou Andrews & The String Theory.
She defeated nominees like the Beastie Boys and John Waters, among others. She elaborates on topics like a miscarriage, utilizing in-vitro fertilization to create her daughters, and marriage counseling in her book, which details her path from a young child from Chicago's South Side to a lawyer and the First Lady of the United States. The underlying bigotry and xenophobia of the birther movement, she added, "was irrational and malicious."
In addition to her husband's two Grammy wins, it was the Obama family's third Grammy triumph overall. Hillary Clinton received the Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album in 2003 for "Living History," making Michelle Obama the second former first lady to do so.
