In distinction to McCain’s reliance on her household title to take care of her position within the public eye, former first daughter Malia Obama was just lately listed within the credit for a movie she directed and wrote as “Malia Ann,” leaving off her world-famous moniker.
“We respected the fact that she’s trying to make her way,” her mom Michelle Obama stated on a current podcast. Former President Obama famous on a podcast in October that his daughter wished viewers to observe the movie with out being influenced by her title.
