Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Zahara is entering her third year at Spelman College.
During her freshman year, Zahara joined the sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha at the historically Black women’s liberal arts college in Atlanta.
Now she’s an upper classman, and was seen strolling with her sorors on the Atlanta campus of Superman. Do your thing baby girl …
Zahara made headlines when her mother announced that she would be attending an HBCU. After dropping her freshman daughter off, Jolie wrote that it was “an honor to have a family member as a new Spelman girl.” The teen’s decision to attend an HBCU sparked conversations about the importance of non-Black parents who adopt Black children allowing those children to be connected to their racial and cultural identity. Now, many fans are applauding Zahara’s decision to join the country’s oldest Black sorority, whose members include Vice-President Kamala Harris and writer Toni Morrison.
Zahara is intentionally not using her dad’s name, and goes by the name Zahara Marley Jolie. A source told Us Weekly back in 2021 that following the couple’s acrimonious divorce proceedings — which have included allegations that Pitt verbally and physically assaulted Zahara’s brother Maddox and Jolie on a private plane in 2016 — Maddox also only uses his mother’s last name.
