Barack Obama’s Daughter Turns Heads After ‘Changing’ Her Name

Note: we are republishing this story which originally made the news in February 2024.

In a bold move, Hollywood newcomer Malia Ann is rewriting her own narrative by shedding the Obama surname and stepping into the limelight on her terms.

Malia Ann, formerly known as Malia Obama, the eldest daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama, is making waves with her latest film project, “The Heart.” Opting for a fresh start, she chose to embrace her middle name, signaling a break from the shadows of her high-profile parents.

The unveiling of Malia’s new identity occurred at the prestigious 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where the 25-year-old filmmaker showcased her directorial debut. The red carpet premiere of “The Heart” marked Malia Ann’s official introduction to Hollywood as a distinct creative force.

What’s intriguing is the absence of the Obama power duo at the Sundance Film Festival. While they’ve successfully ventured into the entertainment industry with “Higher Ground Productions,” the Obamas decided to let Malia Ann shine independently.

ng the Sundance spotlight, Malia Ann provided a glimpse into “The Heart,” labeling it as “an odd little story, somewhat of a fable, about a man heartbroken on the death of his mother after she leaves him an unusual request in her will.”

Produced under the banner of Donald Glover’s company Gilga, “The Heart” not only showcases Malia’s directorial prowess but also highlights her versatility. Prior to stepping into the director’s chair, Malia had already earned her stripes as a staff writer on Glover’s Amazon Prime show, “Swarm.”

Colleagues and industry insiders have showered Malia with praise. According to E News, Janine Nabers, co-creator of “Swarm,” commended her professionalism, stating that “she’s a very professional person” in a January 2023 Vanity Fair interview. Nabers went further, describing Malia as “an incredible writer and artist,” emphasizing her multifaceted talents.

Even Donald Glover, a seasoned artist in his own right, commended Malia’s abilities, making it clear that her famous lineage played no role in her treatment on set. Speaking to Vanity Fair in March 2022, he expressed confidence in Malia’s future, saying, “I feel like she’s just somebody who’s gonna have really good things coming soon. Her writing style is great. We must not lower our standards simply because she happens to be the daughter of a former President.”

Malia Ann’s journey in Hollywood is unfolding as a narrative of self-discovery and creative independence. As she continues to make her mark in the industry, the spotlight is firmly on her unique identity, promising a future filled with artistic accomplishments.
