Michelle Obama recently discussed her daughters, Malia and Sasha, emphasizing that they desire autonomy and recognition for their achievements. Malia has chosen to drop the family name 'Obama' in her professional pursuits, using her middle name, Ann, in credits for her recent film, 'The Heart,' showcased at the Sundance Film Festival. Michelle highlighted this choice as part of their journey toward independence, underscoring the importance of working hard and distilling their identity apart from their famous family background. She noted that at ages 25 and 23, her daughters are starting to understand their parents' principles more fully.
Both Malia and Sasha are young adult women who want to demonstrate their independence and earn their own accomplishments, avoiding the perception of privilege.
Malia chose to use her middle name, Ann, professionally to assert her individuality, and we fully respect her decision to carve her own path.
