Growing up in the public eye isn’t easy, especially for Malia Obama, daughter of former US President Barack Obama. Now 25, she’s made her directorial debut at Sundance Film Festival with “The Heart.” In an interview, she shared she’s now going by Malia Ann, honoring her grandmother who passed from ovarian cancer.
In “The Heart,” Malia explores themes of loss, forgiveness, and tenderness. This isn’t her first venture; she previously worked on Donald’s Amazon Prime show “Swarm.” Co-creators praise her professionalism and cool demeanor.
Malia’s choice to drop her last name isn’t uncommon among celebrities seeking identity redefinition, akin to Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie. At Sundance, she opted for a natural look, showcasing her talent and dedication.
Malia Obama is forging her Hollywood path, inspiring us all. Let’s celebrate this talented woman by sharing her journey with loved ones.
