Sasha Obama, the youngest daughter of former US President Barack Obama, has grown up in the public eye. Thrust into the spotlight at a young age, Sasha has navigated the world with grace and a developing sense of self.

First appearing on national television at just 8 years old, Sasha stood alongside her mother and sister to celebrate her father’s historic election victory. Understandably nervous at the time, Sasha overcame her shyness as the Obama family settled into their second term. Years of media attention honed her ability to navigate the presence of cameras and reporters.
