When Sasha Obama was 15 years old, she got a job working at a seafood restaurant in Martha’s Vineyard called Nancy’s. She worked the register, waited tables, and did the menial tasks assigned to the role, but there was one major difference: Sasha was escorted by a team of people in the Secret Service. “She’s been working downstairs at takeout. We were wondering why there were six people helping this girl, but then we found out who it was,” a co-worker told The Boston Herald in August 2016.
Years later, the youngest Obama daughter graduated from college at the University of Southern California. At the time, Michelle Obama was worried that Sasha was not making the best use of her opportunities. “She’s telling Sasha she needs to get out there and start interviewing for positions,” a source told OK! in June 2023. Reportedly, Sasha was looking forward to time off after graduation. “But Michelle suspects what she wants to do is hang out with her friends and party,” the insider added.
By the following year, Sasha had found a job. She was working on the show “Couples Therapy” as a casting interviewer. Similar to Malia Obama, who went by a different name in show business, Sasha decided to switch up her moniker. In the credits of the show, she was listed by her full name, Natasha Obama. Info on Sasha’s pursuit in film and television was limited, but more was known about Malia, who had been in the industry for years.
