The Transformation Of Malia Obama From 6 To 25 Years Old, photo 3

Malia received a dog when they moved to the White House.

Less than a year later, Malia Obama moved into the White House, leaving behind a life of relative normalcy. However, there was a bright spot. In his victory speech, Obama announced that his daughters would finally get a dog.

The search for the perfect First Dog captivated America. Although the Obamas did not adopt a shelter pup, the late U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy gifted them a Portuguese water dog. In 2013, the Obamas welcomed a second Portuguese water dog named Sunny.

Malia has joined the Black Lives Matter protests.

Malia Obama, who has spent her entire life surrounded by politics, decided to speak up and participate in protests for racial justice. ” While Malia and Sasha found their ways to participate in the demonstrations and activism you’ve seen from young people this summer, without any prompting from Michelle and me, on their initiative,” Barack Obama told People in 2021, recalling how his daughters became involved in Black Lives Matter protests.
