Inside Sasha And Malia Obama's Lavish Lifestyle

Before Malia Obama attended Harvard University, she took a gap year. During this time, as well as throughout college, she had a couple of internships, which included working on HBO's hit series "Girls." She also landed a production assistant gig with CBS, where she worked on the show "Extent." Malia eventually moved to Los Angeles, before Sasha Obama met her out there, and has since been working steadily towards her career in Hollywood.

Malia's first credited work has been on Donald Glover's Amazon Prime series, "Swarm," for which she has served as a writer for multiple episodes. Now that she has garnered significant attention, not just for her family name but for her creative work, Malia is officially on to bigger things. In April of 2023, it was announced that she would be partnering up again with Donald Glover, this time for her directorial debut.

Having just launched Gilga, Glover's production company, he decided that the first project would be a short film directed by Malia. He spoke with GQ about the conversation he had with the former president's daughter, saying, "The first thing we did was talk about the fact that she will only get to do this once. You're Obama's daughter. So if you make a bad film, it will follow you around." With such a prominent icon in the industry serving as her mentor, Malia is sure to go on to create incredible work and make a name for herself in Hollywood.
