The writer shared a quirky fact about Sasha

The same writer, Ashley C. Ford, also the author of “Somebody’s Daughter,” revealed this fact about Sasha Obama’s birth name in June 2017, setting off a chain reaction. Ford tweeted, “Today is the one year anniversary of me finding out Sasha Obama’s actual first name is Natasha.” Since this author had thousands of followers, it took a very short amount of time for the masses to flood her mentions, expressing shock and disbelief. One commenter said, “Where were you when you found out Sasha Obama’s name is really Natasha Obama? Me? Wikipedia, New York, NY, June 12, 2016.” Another wrote that learning this truth “blew my mind.”

When this situation took place, Ford was a senior features writer at Refinery29. It may be due to her job that she got rid of the tweet, but people can still see screenshots online. Even after this revelation on Twitter, Sasha’s real name would pop up again on a very important day for the most mysterious Obama.
