📌 Who Malia Obama Is — As Reported by Credible News Sources

📌 Who Is Malia Obama?
Malia Obama (born July 4, 1998) is the eldest daughter of former U.S. President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama. She became a public figure during her father’s presidency (2009–2017) but has maintained a relatively private life, especially compared with typical Hollywood celebrities.

Early Life & Education
Malia grew up in the public eye when her father was elected President in 2008.

She attended Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., and later graduated from Harvard University in 2021.

Interest in the Film & TV Industry
Since graduating from college, Malia has pursued work in the entertainment world:

She has interned with production companies and on television sets, including HBO’s Girls and other projects early in her career.

She has worked in the writers’ room on the acclaimed Amazon series Swarm, created by Donald Glover.

Filmmaking and Name Change

One of her most public artistic moves was directing a short film titled The Heart, which she submitted under the name “Malia Ann” rather than using her last name, Obama. This was a deliberate choice to build a career on her own merits rather than relying on her family’s fame.

Michelle Obama explained that both daughters “want to make their way in the world” and have chosen to be recognized for their own achievements.
