Jolie and her ex-husband Brad Pitt have six children together. The couple adopted Zahara from Ethiopia in 2005.
Zahara’s older brothers Maddox and Pax, who were adopted from Cambodia and Vietnam, both attend college in Asia. Jolie has been vocal about her children’s adoptions and how they understand their cultures.
“My daughter is from Ethiopia...and I have learned so much from her. She is my family, but she is an extraordinary African woman,” Jolie told Time Magazine in 2020 interview. “Her connection to her country, her continent is very, it’s her own. It’s something I only stand back in awe of.”
Spelman College is one of 10 historically Black colleges and universities in Georgia. More than 2,100 students from 43 states and 10 countries attend Spelman College.
