Zahara was abandoned by her biological mother when she was a baby.

Angelina Jolie is one of the best-known actresses and human rights defenders in the world. 

The protagonist of “Maleficent” reduced her work as an actress several years ago to dedicate herself fully to helping various charitable causes.

Angelina Jolie and her ex-partner Brad Pitt managed to form one of the largest and most diverse families in Hollywood.

And this arose as a result of the actress’ desire to adopt boys and girls in various countries around the world.

In 2005 Angelina Jolie met Zahara Jolie-Pitt , who was born into an extremely poor family in Ethiopia. 

The biological mother of her little girl, Mentewab Dawit, did not know what to do with her, since she did not have the resources to support and raise her, so she decided to give her up for adoption.

Zahara Jolie-Pitt was malnourished and was close to death when she was born. At that time Angelina Jolie had traveled to Ethiopia as a UNICEF Goodwill ambassador and when she saw the little girl she fell in love with her and did not hesitate to adopt her.

Years later , Zahara Jolie-Pitt ‘s biological mother appeared in the media asking Jolie to meet her, but so far that request has not been fulfilled by the protagonist of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” “I ask Angelina to let me talk to her. I don’t think it’s too much to ask. I don’t want my daughter back, I just want to be able to stay in touch with her and call her from time to time, I want to see her face before I die.” , were the words of Zahara’s biological mother.

How does Zahara currently live?

Zahara is currently a college student at Spelman College, but also works alongside Angelina Jolie on various causes involving women’s rights. She is also a global leader in the education of women of African descent, whom she assists in their intellectual, creative, ethical, and leadership development.

In addition, Zahara Jolie-Pitt has her own jewelry line, whose work is made by hand. But that’s not all, since Angelina Jolie’s daughter has also been involved in some film productions in which her mother has worked.
