Malia Obama is ready to make her mark on the world and step out from the shadows of her parents, Michelle and Barack Obama.
The 21-year-old will be making her directorial debut later in the year, with a film that will be produced by Donald Glover's Gigla company. Details about the project are being kept under wraps, but Donald confirmed the news in an interview with GQ as he covered the publication's latest issue.
The Community star revealed Malia's involvement in the upcoming project by revealing the warning he gave her, sharing: "The first thing we did was talk about the fact that she will only get to do this once. You're [Barack] Obama's daughter. So if you make a bad film, it will follow you around."
Malia is no stranger to the entertainment world and has worked with Donald on his Swarm series, which follows a murderous woman's obsession with a pop star, even co-writing the program's fifth episode.

His secret service staff patiently waited, with their car parked nearby for the next couple of hours, and escorted him away once done.
