What Malia Obama is Really Like And Her Exciting New Gig

It’s no surprise that the daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama is smart, talented and ambitious. But beyond her parents’ name, Malia Obama is carving out her own career and path for herself in the entertainment industry. At the young age of 23, it’s been reported that she was co-writing a show with Donald Glover. Dubbed “Hive,” Donald himself speaks highly of Malia, praising her work ethic and natural talent with her writing style. He called her “an amazingly talented person” in an interview with “Vanity Fair” in March 2022.  This isn’t Malia’s first rodeo — she interned on several famous shows including Lena Dunham’s popular HBO show “Girls.” Dunham even described her as an “angel” on a talk show. She also worked with Halle Berry as a production assistant on the television drama “Extant.”

Even though she was a president’s daughter at the time of interning, her humble and grounded attitude is what kept her in the heart of many on set. Although nobody was asking Michele and Barack’s firstborn to fetch them coffee, she was apparently up for whatever errands needed to be done.

Glover’s new and mysterious show is part of the eight-figure deal he signed with Amazon after exiting an arrangement with FX. It is apparently inspired by Beyonce and is about a “Beyonce-like figure.” Given his work on “Atlanta” we can’t wait to see what this team brings to the table with the show. The deal was signed with Amazon Studios in February 2021 and is a collaboration with playwright Janine Nabers, who has worked on “Watchmen” and “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce.”
