Sasha in Malia Obama prvič v intervjuju spregovorili o mami Michelle

Od 6. maja na Netflixu predvajajo dokumentarni film z naslovom Becoming o nekdanji prvi dami Ameriki, Michelle Obama. Film ima isti naslov kot njena knjiga spominov Becoming, izdana leta 2018. Oboževalci si lahko v njem ogledajo nekatere zgodbe, o katerih je pripovedovala v knjigi, in pokukajo v njen svet po izdaji knjige.

V okviru promocije knjige se je Michelle Obama leta 2018 za več mesecev odpravila na promocijsko turnejo. Na Instagramu pa je pred kratkim zapisala: »Spomine in občutek povezanosti zdaj cenim bolj kot kdaj prej.« Mislila je na izbruh koronavirusa.

Michelle (56) in hčerki so zelo redko fotografirane skupaj. Nazadnje so bile skupaj v javnosti junija 2019 na enem od provansalskih trgov blizu Avignona. Kmalu zatem sta se mladenki pojavili s staršema in zakoncema Clooney na enem od sprehodov ob jezeru Como. In 27. novembra 2019 so na Instagramu mame Michelle skupaj na fotografiji na Sashinem zaključnem plesu.

Mlajša, 18 let stara hčerka Sasha je pred letom dni odšla študirat na univerzo v Michiganu v bližini Detroita. Starejša, 21 letna Malia pa nadaljuje študij na Harvardu. In zdaj sta prvič dali intervju, v katerem govorita o svoji mami.

Sasha, ki zaključuje prvo leto na univerzi, je na mamo zelo ponosna: »Zelo sem navdušena nad tem, da je moja mama ponosna nase in na to, kaj je v življenju dosegla. Po mojem mnenju je ena od najpomembnejših stvari, da si ponosen sam nase.«

I’m excited to let you know that on May 6, @Netflix will release BECOMING, a documentary film directed by @nadiahallgren that looks at my life and the experiences I had while touring following the release of my memoir. Those months I spent traveling—meeting and connecting with people in cities across the globe—drove home the idea that what we share in common is deep and real and can’t be messed with. In groups large and small, young and old, unique and united, we came together and shared stories, filling those spaces with our joys, worries, and dreams. We processed the past and imagined a better future. In talking about the idea of ‘becoming,’ many of us dared to say our hopes out loud. I treasure the memories and that sense of connection now more than ever, as we struggle together to weather this pandemic, as we care for our loved ones, and cope with loss, confusion, and uncertainty. It’s hard these days to feel grounded or hopeful, but I hope that like me, you’ll find joy and a bit of respite in what Nadia has made. Because she’s a rare talent, someone whose intelligence and compassion for others comes through in every frame she shoots. Most importantly, she understands the meaning of community, the power of community, and her work is magically able to depict it. As many of you know, I’m a hugger. My whole life, I’ve seen it as the most natural and equalizing gesture one human can make toward another—the easiest way of saying, “I’m here for you.” And this is one of the toughest parts of our new reality: Things that once felt simple—going to see a friend, sitting with someone who is hurting, embracing someone new—are now not simple at all. But I’m here for you. And I know you are here for one another. Even as we can no longer safely gather we need to stay open and able to put ourselves in other people’s shoes. Empathy is our lifeline here. Let’s use it to redirect our attention toward what matters most, and find ways to better remake the world in the image of our hopes. Even in hard times, our stories help cement our values and strengthen our connections. Sharing them shows us the way forward. I love and miss you all. #IAmBecoming.

Malia je po drugi strani dejala, da svoji mami čestita za novo življenje, v katerem ni tako pod drobnogledom javnosti, kot je bila kot prva dama. »Mama ni več v prvem planu, in tako ima mnogo več prostora okoli sebe.« To mladenki zagotovo najbolje vesta, kako je, saj sta bili stari 7 in 10 let, ko je njun oče Barak Obama (58) postal ameriški predsednik. Takrat se je njuno življenje za vedno spremenilo. V Beli hiši sta živeli 8 let, saj je Barak služil dva predsedniška mandata.

Michelle upa, da si bodo ljudje po svetu v teh težkih časih z ogledom dokumentarnega filma vsaj malo krajšali čas. »Izkoristimo ga, da svojo pozornost usmerimo na tisto, kar je najpomembnejše. Vsak naj najde način, kako do boljšega jutri,« pravi nekdanja prva dama.
