The Obama family recently celebrated Sasha Obama’s 24th birthday with an emotional social media post from that day. Sasha on the day of his birth, in June 2001. She is the younger daughter of former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama. The post was accompanied by a rare joint family photo from the two of them, depicting an exuberant moment between a huge extended family — including one doting father.
Sasha has an older sister, Malia Obama. Now at 26, Malia has already places in history as a pioneer in the film and television industry after graduating from Harvard University in 2021. Malia’s short film, “The Heart,” premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, showcasing her talents in storytelling and filmmaking.
Sasha lived in the White House from ages 7 to 15 while her father was president. Yet her childhood remained one of a kind even up until 2017. As she graduates into adulthood, her parents, along with everyone else who knows her, are so proud.
Barack Obama shared a touching birthday message on Instagram, stating, “Happy birthday, Sasha! Watching you grow into the incredible woman you are has been a true gift. I’ll always be proud of you and will always be here for you.”
Michelle Obama took to Instagram, posting a family photo alongside her birthday wishes: “Happy birthday to my sweet girl, Sasha! Can’t believe how quickly time has flown. I’m so proud of the woman you’ve become. Love you always! 💕🥳🎉.
This year is a double whammy for Sasha! She’s a proud May 2023 graduate of the University of Southern California. The former First Lady opened up about the challenges of raising her daughters in the limelight. Here’s what she had to say, in conversation with Melinda French Gates on her podcast, “Moments That Make Us,” this past July 2024.
“You’re not going to live here, and with me, forever. So I’ve got to hand you your life soon and let you manage it.”
Sasha Obama’s birthday portrait underscores her remarkable personal accomplishments. It further underscores the deep, abiding bond of family that continues to thrive long after their residence together in the White House has ended. The shared images and heartfelt messages reflect a family united in love and support as they navigate their individual paths in life.
