Obama, who was First Lady from 2009 to 2017, has been a prominent advocate for women and girls around the world both during and after her husband Barack Obama's tenure as US President.

"In Conversation with Michelle Obama", presented by Growth Faculty, will explore her career in public service, life in the White House and beyond, as well as the advocacy work she has undertaken to strengthen and support the next generation of leaders.

Her visit coincides with the launch of her new book, The Look; a behind the scenes glimpse of how her most memorable looks came together, but also a story about how people present themselves.

"Michelle Obama is one of the most influential women of our time. As a lawyer, First Lady, mother of two and global role model, her extraordinary story is one that fascinates and inspires people everywhere," Growth Faculty founder and chief executive Karen Beattie said.
