Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama have just opened the Obama Presidential Centre Museum in Chicago, and attention has swiftly turned to what their daughters, Malia and Sasha, are quietly building away from politics. Once the little girls who moved into the White House at 10 and eight, they are now carving out independent adult lives, determined to stand on their own feet rather than rely on the Obama name.
The sisters spent their formative years residing at the White House between 2009 and 2017. Malia and Sasha were just 10 and eight years old when their father assumed office. Now young professionals, both women are currently pursuing distinct career paths while largely sidestepping their famous surname.
