Angelina Jolie Cheers on Zahara: A Mother-Daughter Brunch to Remember
In a heartwarming display of maternal support, Angelina Jolie recently attended a mother-daughter brunch in Montgomery, Alabama, on March 1, to cheer on her daughter Zahara as she took the stage to deliver a speech. The event, organized by the nonprofit Women in Training, Inc. to combat period poverty, showcased Zahara’s growing confidence and commitment to social causes, a sentiment echoed by her mother. Donning matching all-white outfits, the duo stood out among the attendees, including event founders Breanna and Brooke Bennett, both 17, who are making waves with their initiative.
Zahara, now a 20-year-old student at Spelman College, demonstrated her eloquence and poise at the podium, much to the delight of Jolie, who was seen beaming in the audience. This public display of support is just one of many moments where Angelina has embraced her role as a mother, often sharing the spotlight with her children at various high-profile events. The actress and humanitarian, who has been gradually re-emerging into the film scene, was nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Globes in January, where she proudly brought Zahara as her date. “Now I’m here with my daughter, so I’m here as a mom,” she told Live from E!, highlighting this unique chapter in their lives.
Angelina’s return to acting comes as her children are maturing into their independence, allowing her the freedom to pursue her career again. In a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she explained, “They’re old enough to join me at work. It’s a new season in our lives.” However, despite the family’s high-profile lifestyle, Jolie has made it clear that her children are not inclined to pursue acting careers, emphasizing their desire for privacy. “None of my children want to be in front of the camera at this time,” she stated on Good Morning America, illustrating her commitment to shielding her kids from the relentless public eye.
Overall, this mother-daughter moment beautifully encapsulates Jolie’s dual roles as an actress and a nurturing mother, proving that even in the glitzy world of Hollywood, family remains a priority.
