Former president Barack Obama shared his thoughts on his daughter Malia Obama choosing to drop her last name professionally, and it appears he was not surprised by her decision. In a recent episode of ‘The Pivot Podcast,’ Obama explained that Malia and her sister Sasha Obama prefer not to “leverage” their parents for help in their careers. He emphasized the importance of allowing his daughters to carve out their own paths without relying on their famous last name for opportunities. Obama acknowledged that it can be challenging for parents to find the balance between offering support and allowing their children to succeed on their own merits.
It is clear that Malia Obama is determined to establish herself as a filmmaker based on her own talent and hard work, rather than riding on the coattails of her presidential father. By dropping her last name professionally, she is signaling her independence and commitment to forging her own identity in the entertainment industry. Barack Obama’s response to Malia’s decision reflects the values of self-reliance and determination that he instilled in his daughters from a young age.
As the former first family continues to navigate life post-presidency, it is evident that Barack Obama respects his daughters’ choices and encourages them to follow their passions. The Obamas are setting an example for parents everywhere by supporting their children’s aspirations while also allowing them the freedom to pursue their dreams without undue influence. Malia Obama’s decision to drop her last name professionally is a bold statement of her individuality and determination to make a name for herself in the world of filmmaking.

Trump declared bankruptcy 7 times and failed everything he promised as so-called US President. As Niki Haley said: everything Trump touches brings chaos.

Why is this news? And who cares?

Who cares..
Are Obama's daughters secretly voting for Trump?
Beautiful young Ladies, Beautiful family!!!🖤👑👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽🖤
One thing, he is a good father. Michelle is a good mother. They were a model first family. Bravo to them!!!!
Who cares
The truth of the matter is the children are not really the Obamas they are friends of the Obamas they are acting to pretend that trans Mike Michelle and Obama have children but really Barack and Michelle are two men and these children are not theirs they are their friends children
Isn't it funny how Hollywood and Washington are so close. You know like Epstein Weinstein P-Diddy
They are both amazing young women ❤️ ❤😊❤❤😊
That celebrity tied to a parent or family member is quite stressful plus they want to have their own identity. Independent minds want credit for their work even looking for public praise and recognition. It’s a difficult balance in high visibility situations.
👍👍👏👏
Big mikes adopted hid
Wow, time flies. How are they in their mid and late 20s already!!!!

FINE FAMILY!
