Zahara Begins Magnificent Chapter at Renowned HBCU
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt has embarked on a new chapter, recently joining the storied Black sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha at the prominent Historically Black College and University (HBCU), Spelman College.
A video captured the 18-year-old’s induction moment as she stepped onto a stage and proudly announced, “My name is Zahara Marley Jolie,” flipping her hair before naming Los Angeles as her hometown.
Jolie-Pitt then took her place among the “first Black sorority” sisters, known for uplifting minority groups since the organization’s founding in 1908. Alpha Kappa Alpha boasts a renowned roster of trailblazing members from Kamala Harris to Phylicia Rashad.
By joining this lineage of exceptional women, Zahara cements her place at the iconic Spelman College. The all-women’s HBCU has educated generations of Black change-makers over its 140+ year history.
Proud Mother Documents Momentous College Journey
For doting mother Angelina Jolie, Zahara’s sorority induction clearly carried personal significance. The Oscar winner enthusiastically celebrated her daughter’s achievement on social media.
“Congratulations to all new students starting this year,” Jolie captioned an Instagram photo of Zahara with Spelman classmates earlier this year. “A very special place and an honor to have a family member as a new Spelman girl.”
The beaming megastar later reminisced about moving her daughter into campus housing in an emotional video. “I’m so excited to become the mom of a Spelman girl,” she gushed at the time.
Jolie’s palpable pride in Zahara’s academic journey illustrates the close bond between the mother-daughter pair. As Zahara makes her mark at the storied HBCU, her A-list mom will doubtless continue broadcasting milestone moments.
Legacy Family Member Cemented in HBCU History
By selecting Spelman College for her higher education, Angelina’s daughter Zahara becomes the latest in the Jolie-Pitt clan to attend the school, cementing the family’s legacy within the HBCU community.
As the great-granddaughter of a Spelman graduate, Zahara upholds her family’s longstanding connection to the school. Her induction into Alpha Kappa Alpha further solidifies her ties to one of Black America’s most respected institutions.
With prominence across industries from Hollywood to activism, the Jolie-Pitts represent the pinnacle of fame and influence within modern culture. By joining this family’s lineage as a Spelman woman and AKA sister, Zahara inscribes her name into the annals of Black education history.
As she carries her family’s torch, Zahara also begins forging her own path as the next generation Jolie-Pitt, ready to make her unique impact at the storied HBCU.
