“Mother Daughter Magic,” wrote Gizelle, who is also a proud member of the same sorority.
During the brunch, Zaraha, who is a graduating senior at Spelman College majoring in psychology and minoring in educational studies, spoke about her “unique” and “kindred” relationship with Angelina.
“When asked to speak with you all today on the value of mother-daughter relationships, it felt challenging to find the words,” began Zahara, as seen in a video on Instagram. “Not challenging because I don’t value it, but because my mom and I have a unique, almost kindred, relationship that can be hard to put into words.”
“Our love for each other is a found one. I was adopted at 6 months old and given some of the most special and loving people as my siblings, with a mom who raised us on the value of helping others, being kind and always striving for growth as people,” she continued. “These values may sound simple, but in a world where kindness is overlooked and helping others comes at a cost, I am grateful to have had a role model to show me what it looks like to be a decent human being.”
“She’s the most selfless, loving and understanding woman who I get to call my mom,” Zahara said of Angelina, who was seen becoming emotional and wiping tears from her eyes.
Zahara, who currently serves as vice president of the Mu Phi chapter of her sorority and wants to pursue a career in youth development or mentorship with young girls, went on to say that she’s been drawn to leadership roles while in school.
“Through my matriculation, I have witnessed the joy and challenges that come with mentorship and the importance of having positive role models,” Zahara said. “We all know that we do not get where we are solely on our merit.”
“I think back to a quote I saw years ago that said, ‘I am a strong woman because a strong woman raised me,’” she concluded, before turning to face Angelina. “Thank you, Mom.”
Along with Zahara, Angelina is also mom to 17-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox along with daughter Shiloh, 19, and sons Pax, 22, and Maddox, 24.
As for Gizelle, she is mom to three daughters – Angel and twin sister Adore, 19, plus Grace, 21.
