Malia Obama is no longer just the President’s daughter. At 25, she’s dropped her famous last name in favor of Malia Ann, honoring her late grandmother and stepping boldly into her own spotlight. Her directorial debut, The Heart, premiered at Sundance 2024 to praise, showcasing her sharp eye and storytelling voice. With past writing credits on Amazon’s Swarm, Malia is proving she’s not riding coattails—she’s stitching her own.
