ESSIES, former First Lady Michelle Obama is headed to the ESSENCE Festival of Culture® presented by Coca-Cola®, and she’s taking the main stage.

Michelle Obama will bring her limited companion podcast series, IMO: The Look, to the Superdome main stage for a special live conversation. The podcast is from Higher Ground, the media company founded by the former First Lady and President Barack Obama. The conversation will trace her style from the early days in the spotlight during President Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign to her time in the White House as the first Black First Lady.

Now is the time to get your tickets. In fact, today is the last day to take advantage of the 3-Day Pass—the best value available—before single-night tickets go on sale May 13.

An added bonus is that subscribers on the ground in New Orleans will get a special edition of her book, The Look.

“From the beginning, the ESSENCE Festival of Culture® has reflected the ways Black women shape culture across music, storytelling, media, and public life,” says Richelieu Dennis, Executive Chairman, Sundial Group of Companies. “Michelle Obama, joining the Festival weekend, is a reflection of the continued evolution into a space where authorship, cultural dialogue, and live experiences exist together at scale and in direct conversation with our audience. What happens in New Orleans during Festival weekend has always extended far beyond the city itself, and this is a major moment for the Festival and for the audience that has grown with us for more than 30 years.”
