Angelina Jolie supports daughter Zahara, 20, as she delivers speech about ‘period poverty’ in Alabama

Angelina Jolie proudly supported her daughter Zahara, a keynote speaker at Women in Training Inc.’s brunch in Montgomery, Alabama, on Saturday.

The actress, 49, was among a number of guests who witnessed the 20-year-old deliver a speech about ‘period poverty.’

Period poverty is described as women and girls ‘having insufficient access to menstrual products, education, and sanitation facilities’ according to the National Insтιтutes of Health. 

Zahara, Spelman College’s Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority member since November 2023, gave the speech at the Women in Training Inc.’s fourth Mother-Daughter Brunch at the Renaissance H๏τel. 

Angelina was pictured proudly listening to Zahara, whom she adopted in 2005 from Ethiopia when she was 7-months-old.

The Oscar winner — who shares six children with ex Brad Pitt, 61 — stunned in a white ʙuттon-up blouse and a matching maxi skirt.

‘We are also excited that her mother, the internationally renowned movie star Angelina Jolie, will join us to support her daughter and to support our goal of ensuring that every girl and young woman has the products she needs to live her life to the fullest extent,’ she added.

Aside from Zahara, Jolie also shares Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, both 16, with Pitt. 

A month prior, Angelina and her children were busy helping out those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires.

‘Her kids are volunteering around the state, asking for what’s needed and jumping in,’ a source told People at the time.

‘She went to see the firefighters at the Rose Bowl and is close to the team at World Central Kitchen,’ the source added.

Their appearance comes shortly after news broke that Angelina and Brad have finally settled their lengthy, eight-year divorce battle—bringing an official close to one of Hollywood’s most high-profile splits.

At the time, Page Six sources said ‘Brad is missing his kids and wishes he had a closer relationship with them, particularly with celebrating the holidays and his birthday this month.’

When it comes to romance, Angelina is in no rush to move on.

‘It’s hard for her to trust men after what she went through with Brad,’ a source recently told Us Weekly.

‘She hasn’t sworn off men, but she’s not looking for anything serious right now.’

The insider added that the star ‘doesn’t think she’ll ever get over the trauma’ of her relationship with Pitt, reinforcing that ‘she’s not looking for love right now.’

The source added that Jolie feels ‘fulfilled’ and is ‘content with her children and life.’ 

Last month, a different source close to Jolie described the divorce process as a nightmare for her and her family.

‘These last eight years have been such a horrendous time for her and her family,’ a source told People.

Aside from Zahara, Jolie also shares Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, both 16, with Pitt; seen with her kids in 2021

Pitt, however, pushed back on Jolie’s claims, telling People, ‘Jolie has engaged in one-sided attacks for the past eight years, including a never-ending distortion of facts and projecting their own behavior onto others, causing tremendous collateral damage to those in and around the family.’

Jolie filed to end the marriage in September of 2016, just two years after tying the knot. They had dated 10 years before they decided to get married.

It has since been alleged that the couple and their six children had taken a private plane days prior to her filing in which Pitt had become physically abusive.

Jolie claimed in court filings that Pitt’s ‘history of physical abuse’ started ‘well before’ the plane incident. The Maleficent actress also said her ex tried to force her to sign a $8.5 million NDA to cover up his ‘years of abuse’.

Pitt has always denied the claims of abuse and was cleared by law enforcement following an investigation.
