Zahara Jolie, the eldest daughter of acclaimed actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has captivated the public’s attention with her remarkable transformation from a young girl into a confident young woman. Adopted from Ethiopia by Jolie in 2005, Zahara has been a part of the spotlight since infancy, but she is now stepping into her own identity.
At just 19 years old, Zahara is a student at Spelman College, a prestigious historically Black women’s college in Atlanta, Georgia. Her journey of self-discovery is not just about academics; it’s also about embracing her heritage and individuality. In a recent discussion with Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate for a TIME 100 Talk, Jolie expressed her admiration for Zahara, stating, “She is my family, but she is an extraordinary African woman, and her connection to her country and continent is something I only stand back in awe of.”
Growing up with two globally recognized parents presented unique challenges and opportunities. Zahara has always been stylish, but her parents ensured she dressed like any other child—albeit with a touch of flair. This balance between normalcy and celebrity has allowed Zahara to develop her own sense of fashion.
Significant milestones mark Zahara’s journey. At the 2015 Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards, she showcased her evolving style, stepping away from childhood attire to make her personality known. The event marked a turning point, as Zahara began to carve her own path, eventually launching her own jewelry line—an endeavor that reflects her ambition and creativity.
In 2017, Zahara attended the premiere of the animated film “The Breadwinner,” produced by Jolie Pas, Angelina’s company. This event highlighted her growing confidence as she proudly wore a red lace dress and embraced her natural hair texture, signaling a conscious choice to express her identity through her fashion.
Now, in 2023, Zahara stands as a young woman who knows who she is and what she stands for. Enrolled in college and involved in a sorority, she is setting the stage for a future where she can blend her roots with her aspirations.
Zahara Jolie’s journey is a testament to the power of self-discovery, cultural heritage, and the importance of paving one’s own path in life—qualities that resonate deeply within the African community and beyond. As she continues to grow and inspire, Zahara is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with on her own terms.
