Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter, Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt,
has recently made headlines for her decision during her time at Spelman College.
At 18 years old, Zahara joined the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) Sorority, the first intercollegiate historically African American sorority.
Last year, Jolie gained attention when she emotionally dropped off Zahara at her Atlanta-based school.
In a video posted by the university’s VP of Student Affairs, Darryl Holloman, Ph.D., Jolie expressed her feelings about saying goodbye to her daughter and her excitement about being a ‘Spelman mom.’
In a recent video posted by Essence, Zahara is seen dancing across a stage in a ceremony where she is initiated into the AKA Sorority. The Instagram post from Essence congratulates Zahara and mentions her significant decision to join the sorority at Spelman College.
The caption reads, “Congratulations to Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt, daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who just joined Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. at Spelman College!” The AKA Sorority is known for its historical significance and has notable members, including Vice President Kamala Harris, director Ava DuVernay, civil rights icon Rosa Parks, and others.
During the initiation ceremony, Zahara enthusiastically shouts her name, where she’s from, and proudly declares herself an AKA sister, being the No. 7 in the line of new initiates into the sorority.
In the comments section, people expressed their emotions about Zahara’s pledge, praising her connection to her roots and race. Many appreciated Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for ensuring that their black child had culturally enriching experiences.
This heartwarming news resonates with those who admire the efforts made to connect Zahara with her heritage. Zahara’s decision to join the AKA Sorority reflects her commitment to sisterhood, scholarship, and service to the community. The online community wishes Zahara the best of luck in her college journey.
