This July and August, we're gathering inside The BRICC Foundry for a self-paced reading experience centered on Michelle Obama's The Light We Carry.
Together, we'll explore the tools that help us navigate uncertainty, strengthen our relationships, quiet self-doubt, and stay connected to the light within us.
No pressure. No homework stress. Just thoughtful reflection, meaningful conversation, and a community of women growing together.

The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times
In The Light We Carry, Michelle Obama invites readers into a candid and deeply personal conversation about navigating life's uncertainties with courage, confidence, and grace. Drawing from experiences as a daughter, wife, mother, friend, and former First Lady, she shares the practical tools, habits, and perspectives that have helped her remain grounded through change, adversity, and self-doubt.
Through stories of family, friendship, leadership, identity, and resilience, Obama explores universal questions many of us face: How do we overcome fear? How do we stay connected to ourselves and others during difficult seasons? How do we find our voice, protect our peace, and continue moving forward when the path ahead feels unclear?
Rather than offering a formula for success, The Light We Carry provides a collection of insights and reflections that encourage readers to embrace their own unique strengths while building deeper connections with the people and communities around them. At its heart, the book is a reminder that each of us carries a light capable of illuminating our own path and helping others find theirs.
Why We're Reading It
This summer, The BRICC Foundry invites you to join a community of women exploring what it means to lead, grow, and thrive through life's transitions. Together, we'll reflect on the tools we use to navigate uncertainty, strengthen our relationships, and step more fully into our purpose.
Because when women share their light, entire communities shine brighter. ✨📚💛
