Barrack Obama's Daughter, Malia Changes Her Surname | Fab.ng

Malia Obama, the daughter of former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, is now using a different last name professionally as she embarks on a career in Hollywood.

Barack and Michelle’s daughter, Malia Obama, recently chose to forego her well-known family surname as she steps into a burgeoning career as a Hollywood filmmaker. This change signals the 25-year-old’s dedication to carving her own professional path. The budding director debuted her new moniker in conjunction with the premiere of her short film, “The Heart,” at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.

The Harvard graduate and daughter of the former US President has chosen to use her middle name, Ann, professionally. This change was first noticed in January during the Sundance Institute’s “Meet the Artist” spotlight video.

In her short film titled “The Heart,” director Malia delves into the intricate and powerful bond between a mother and her son. The cast features talented individuals such as Tunde Adebimpe, LaTonya Borsay, and John Weigand. Malia, in an interview, affectionately described the film as “a peculiar, almost fable-like story, following a man grappling with the loss of his mother after she entrusts him with an unconventional request in her will.”

Before embarking on her Hollywood career, Malia gained valuable experience through internships at the HBO drama series “Girls” and at Harvey Weinstein’s production company. She further honed her skills as a staff writer on Donald Glover’s popular Amazon Prime series “Swarm.”

Commending her strong work ethic and unwavering determination, Donald Glover remarked to Vanity Fair, “She’s simply an exceptionally gifted individual. She demonstrates exceptional focus and puts in a tremendous amount of effort.” He continued, expressing his belief that

“She’s unquestionably someone who will achieve great things” soon… “Her writing style is truly remarkable.”

Glover’s colleague, creator Janine Nabers, echoed these sentiments, showering her with nothing but praise. Reflecting on her contributions to the show, Nabers told ET last year,

“Some of her ideas were truly out-of-the-box, yet incredibly good and exciting. She’s a phenomenal writer who brought a wealth of creativity to the table… She’s incredibly dedicated to her craft.”

Speaking about the milestone, Adam Smith, the Vice President of Product Management at YouTube, stated:

“In 2015, we believed that there was an appetite for a YouTube experience that benefited not only our users but the creator and artist community as well, and we announced a new subscription service alongside a brand new app, YouTube Music. This offering was designed for music lovers and YouTube fans who wanted more choice in how they spent time on YouTube, allowing them to enjoy YouTube without interruptions, background play and downloads, and a full music service with the world’s largest catalogue.

We also experimented with new generative AI features that Premium users were among the first to try.
