Zahara Jolie-Pitt, a 20-year-old student at Spelman College, was the keynote speaker at the Women In Training (WIT) Mother-Daughter Brunch in Montgomery, Alabama, on March 1. Angelina Jolie proudly accompanied her daughter to the event, where Zahara delivered an impressive 15-minute speech on period poverty, earning a standing ovation from the audience.
Fans quickly took to social media, commenting on Zahara and Angelina’s striking resemblance, with many noting how Zahara seems to have inherited her mother’s features. They also praised Zahara for her intelligence and poise, acknowledging her impressive speech and passion for the cause.
The nonprofit WIT, which focuses on providing menstrual, dental, and hygiene essentials to girls in need, also commended Zahara for her well-researched and heartfelt address. The organization’s president, Adeyela Bennett, described Zahara as humble and deeply committed to ending period poverty.
The brunch, which attracted hundreds of mothers and daughters, doubled as a fundraiser for WIT. Angelina’s presence at the event to support her daughter’s speech and the nonprofit’s mission was widely appreciated.
Angelina, who adopted Zahara from Ethiopia in 2005, continues to balance her career and family life. Despite her busy schedule, she consistently makes time for her six children, showing up as a supportive mother at important events like this one.
