Girl time in African and Spain with Michelle and Sasha
After graduation, Malia kicked off her summer with an educational trip to Africa and Spain. In June, Malia and her younger sister Sasha joined their mother Michelle and grandmother Marian Robinson for a trip to Liberia for the first leg of their Let Girls Learn initiative tour.
For the second leg of the tour, Malia
jetted off to Spain with her girl squad. The 18-year-old and Sasha stopped on Gran Via street for some shopping, while her mother met with Queen Letizia, and bonded over being mothers to two girls.
"Like me, Queen Letizia is the mother of two beautiful daughters, and we've had the opportunity to bond over many issues, including the joys and the challenges of raising strong, smart, outspoken girls," Michelle said during a speech at a local cultural center, as she spoke of her "warm friendship" with the royal.
