Zahara’s Intentions to Attend Spelman College: Brad Pitt’s Response ‘I’m So Proud’
At the “Bullet Train” premiere this week, Brad Pitt made a few infrequent remarks on the children he shares with his ex-Angelina Jolie. Specifically, he was asked about Zahara’s plans to enroll at Spelman College.
“I’m so proud of her,” he told sources. “She’s so smart. She’s going to flourish even more at college. It’s an exciting and beautiful time to find her way and pursue her interests. I’m so proud.”
“Where does the time go, right? They grow up too fast,” he said of his children. “It brings a tear to the eye.”
As her daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt prepares to enroll at Spelman College, a historically Black women’s college in Atlanta, Angelina Jolie is jubilant.
The “Maleficent” actress revealed where her 17-year-old daughter will live for the next four years in an Instagram post published on Sunday.
The celebrity celebrated by hitting the electric slide during the event and showcasing her dance talents alongside other parents and prospective HBCU students.
On Sunday, a video of the actress briefly dancing was posted on TikTok.
“Morehouse and Spelman’s alumni showing Angelina Jolie and her daughter how to hit the electric slide at their event in Los Angeles,” the caption read.
In the video, Jolie smiles and giggles as she briefly participates in the fun while Zahara stands to the side of the room and watches her mother.
Over the years, the mother-daughter pair have remained close and have shared a desire for social justice.
The two traveled to Washington, D.C. in December 2021 to speak with lawmakers and advocates for the Violence Against Women Act.
Jolie documented their meeting on Instagram, “Honored to visit Washington, DC, with Zahara, working with advocates and lawmakers to modernize and strengthen the #ViolenceAgainstWomenAct to include protections for children’s health and safety, communities of color, tribes, LGBTQ survivors, rural areas, and all survivors.”
“We need reforms including judicial training, trauma-informed court processes that minimize the risk of harm to children, grant programs for technology to detect bruising across all skin tones and create non-biased forensic evidence collection, and protections for the most vulnerable,” she said at the time.
