Former first child Malia Obama has a new job.

The 22-year-old Harvard student will be writing for actor Donald Glover’s new show, “Hive,” for Amazon Prime.

The show will follow a Beyonce-like character’s journey to stardom in which Malia Obama will contribute to writing about and bringing to life.

Glover, also known as the rapper Childish Gambino, recently signed a multi-year eight-figure deal with the studio to produce multiple projects including “Hive.”

Former President Barack Obama said in a November interview with InStyle that his older daughter “enjoys people, enjoys life, and enjoys conversation. She’s never bored, which is a badass quality that can take you places.”

Malia Obama interned for HBO’s “Girls” in 2015.
