Angelina Jolie's daughter Zahara hails her "selfless" mom at sorority event

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Zahara shares a heartfelt speech at Spelman College, praising her mother's selflessness and their unique bond.

"She is the most selfless, loving and understanding woman that I get to call my mom. - Zahara Jolie"

Los Angeles, April 27

Actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Zahara Jolie has shared an emotional tribute to her mother during an Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority event at Spelman College, where she enrolled in 2022, highlighting their "unique" and deeply personal bond, according to E! News.

Zahara, 21, accompanied by Angelina Jolie at the event, reflected on the significance of her relationship with her mother while addressing fellow attendees on the importance of mother-daughter connections.

"It felt challenging to find the words," Zahara said in a clip from the speech shared on X. "Not challenging because I don't value it, but because my mom and I have a unique, almost kindred relationship that can be hard to put into words."

Recalling her adoption in 2005 from Ethiopia, Zahara said the love she shares with her family is a "found one," according to E! News.

Angelina and ex Brad Pitt adopted Zahara during a trip to Ethiopia at the time--the college student noted the love she and her mother share is "a found one."

"I was adopted at six months old and given some of the most special and loving people as my siblings," Zahara continued, "with a mom who raised us on the value of helping others, being kind and always striving for growth as people," according to E! News.

She further credited Angelina Jolie for shaping her outlook on life, saying, "I am grateful to have had a role model show me what it looks like to be a decent human being."

Zahara also acknowledged the challenges of growing up under public scrutiny, noting the difficulty of maintaining privacy while building her identity at Spelman College, away from her siblings Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne.

"With the addition of the public life that we live, it can be difficult to find those special and intimate moments without being overwhelmed with the many eyes that are on us," she said. "This has never stopped my mom from being curious about all that I am learning in and outside of my classrooms at Spelman," according to E! News.

Concluding her speech, Zahara lauded her mother as "the most selfless, loving and understanding woman" in her life.

"She is the most selfless, loving and understanding woman that I get to call my mom," she said. "I think back to a quote I saw years ago that said 'I am a strong woman because a strong woman raised me.' Thank you, Mom," according to E! News.

Lovely to see this kind of mother-daughter bond, but let's not ignore the complexities. Angelina Jolie comes from immense privilege and wealth—it's easy to be "selfless" when you have millions. The real test is for millions of ordinary Indian mothers who sacrifice daily without any global recognition. Still, Zahara's words about her mom's values of helping others are inspiring.

This is so wholesome 😭💕 Zahara seems like a beautiful soul. The way she talks about their "found" love is so touching—adoption creates bonds that are just as real as biological ones. As an Indian, I love seeing multicultural families. Whether it's a single mother in Ethiopia or a joint family in Punjab, love is love. Spelman Queens! 👑

Respect to Zahara for handling the public eye so maturely at just 21. She's right—growing up in the spotlight is no joke, especially when your parents are Hollywood royalty. Meanwhile, Indian celebrities try to hide their kids from paparazzi (understandably!). Hope she continues to thrive at Spelman and builds her own identity away from Brad and Angelina's drama.

Zahara's speech is powerful, but let's not forget the complexities in the Jolie-Pitt family. We don't really know what goes on behind closed doors. But it's heartwarming that she credits her mom for teaching values of kindness and growth. In India too, we have so many adoptive families—need more open conversations about adoption so kids feel secure.
