Interview with Auma Obama (audio)

Published by isabelwilcox on May 1, 2012

Auma Obama talks about her life in Africa and Europe, and her relationship with her brother, Barack Obama. Her memoir, And Then Life Happens, tells the story of her meeting Barack Obama for the first time in the 1980s, and how they built a lasting relationship, traveled together in Kenya, and researched their family history, and how she supported him in his political aspirations.

You can listen to the interview on the Leonard Lopate show via link below.
