Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter, Zahara Jolie, recently shocked social media by dancing with her sorority sisters. In a viral video, the 20-year-old had infectious energy and confidence while doing standard collegiate dance. However, one feature in particular caught many people’s attention.
Pride at Spelman College: Zahara shines in a century-old tradition.
Zahara is a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) sorority at Spelman College in Atlanta, a historically African-American institution. This more than century-old society conducts “strolls,” in which members dance together to demonstrate solidarity and sorority spirit.
Zahara appeared in the video dressed casually in the sorority’s traditional green colors: muscle shirt, jean shorts, and sneakers. Her dancing style demonstrated that she felt at ease and confident in this environment
A viral video and a lot of praise .
What began as a video shared among fellow performers eventually drew the attention of thousands. Zahara did a choreographed routine to Anycia and Latto’s cheerful song Back Outside, complete with confident steps and an engaging smile. The post, which was uploaded to TikTok, rapidly became viral, and enthusiastic comments poured in.
Many people expressed their support and admiration, and one element in particular stood out: how much the girl had grown and changed.
One commenter commented on how joyful she seemed, adding, “Zahara is having the time of her life!” Another commented, “I know Angelina Jolie is proud.”
The impact of being raised in an identity-affirming environment.
In addition to Zahara’s talent, the reaction centered on the environment that surrounded her throughout this procedure. Several comments complimented Angelina Jolie’s initiative to help Zahara connect with her ethnic heritage.
“Jolie adopted her children and allowed them to embrace their culture. “I always respect that,” said one user. Another commented, “Great job, Ange. You are such an inspiration and a blessing. Congratulations.” In an environment where many adoptive families avoid these discussions, Angelina’s stance was emphasized as an example of intentional parenting.
Brotherhood, identity and a new beginning.
Zahara was officially initiated into the famous Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority in 2023, demonstrating not only her dedication to sorority values but also her own personal development. In a public presentation, the young woman expressed her wish to establish her identity: when introducing herself to her classmates, she chose to omit the surname “Pitt” and use only “Jolie.” A tiny but profound gesture.
Zahara has recently separated herself from her father’s last name. Shiloh, her sister, has also initiated the formal process of deleting the name “Pitt” from her legal paperwork. Although the reasons are unknown to the public, many see it as a symbol of independence and identity affirmation.
Zahara Jolie embodies more than skill or inherited celebrity; she represents a new generation seeking to assert itself through honesty, loyalty to its roots, and the freedom to make its own path. Meanwhile, the world watches in awe as Angelina Jolie’s children discover their own voices, away from their parents’ headlines and closer to their own beliefs.
