Now that Sasha Obama is well into her teenage
years and no longer obligated to be a First
Daughter, she's doing big things.
While the world witnessed Sasha's evolution
across her father's two terms as president,
there's still quite a few things you probably
don't know about her.
So let's take a closer look at some unexpected
facts about Sasha Obama.
Her real name
Ready to have your mind blown?
Sasha is actually short for Natasha.
The truth was revealed when news outlets reported
in 2016 that she was using her full first
name while working in Martha's Vineyard.
Which brings us to...
Her summer job
In the summer of 2016, customers who visited
Nancy's, a seafood restaurant on Martha's
Vineyard, noticed a young employee who looked
very familiar.
As later reported by the Boston Herald, then-15-year-old
Sasha Obama worked the takeout window at the
restaurant for the summer months that year,
accompanied by six Secret Service agents.
A fellow waiter told the Herald,
"We were wondering why there were six people
helping this girl, but then we found out who
it was."
Her famous fan
Both Sasha Obama and her older sister Malia
were always popular with the press, but they
have a few famous fans, as well.
Specifically, Sasha grabbed the attention
of a certain Canadian rap superstar.
As reported by Us Weekly, the teen was spotted
on the beach in Miami in 2017 wearing a baseball
hat with Drake's OvO symbol on it.
Not only did Drake notice that photo of Obama,
but the rapper went even further and gave
her a shout-out on social media.
He posted a photo of the teen in her baseball
cap, with the caption, "Style Popper."
Her killer new crib
Being the baby of the family has some major
perks, especially when your parents are decorating
and designing a new house.
When the Obama family left the White House,
it was time to find a new house to call "home."
Michelle spoke about their move on Ellen.
And who did she think got the best deal?
"Sasha actually killed in this house.
She has this two-room suite, it's all decked
out.
She's got like a living room area and a bedroom.
She designed it."
But what about the former president?
He must have more space, right?
"He's got the smallest room for his office
[...] So he's really hating on her."
Her Super Sweet 16
As the former president's daughter, Sasha
Obama has seen her fair share of parties.
It should come as no surprise then that when
it came time for the famous teen to celebrate
her sweet 16, she would do it big and have
an epic celebration.
In May 2017 she did just that.
No longer the little girl who first came into
the White House, Obama wore a fabulous red
dress by "Jill Jill Stuart" for the big event,
as reported by Business Insider.
Photos leaked on social media revealed that
the teen was surrounded by friends for the
big event, but she also made sure to include
a couple of other important people on the
guest list.
This included her parents, who were by her
side for her exclusive and private birthday
party, as seen in additional leaked photos
on Instagram that gave the public a quick
glimpse into the big evening.
Her final White House slumber party
How would you celebrate your final night living
in the White House?
Sasha and her sister Malia had the celebration
plans covered when it came to their last night
in their home of eight years.
They had two specific food requests, as Michelle
Obama shared with Today:
"They had a sleepover because of course on
Inauguration Day, because my girls are so
normal, they're like, 'Well, eight girls are
gonna be sleeping here because it's our last
time, and we want pizza and we want nuggets.'
And it's like, really?"
Nuggets and pizza?
Yes, really!
That's the ultimate way to spend a last night
in the White House.
Bravo, ladies.
