MALAAK COMPTON ROCK TAKES HER KIDS ON A JOURNEY
-Pictured-Zahra Savannah,4, a friend, Lola Simone,6-
Malaak Compton-Rock, the wife of comedian Chris rock, is the founder of The Angel Rock Project, “an on-line e-village promoting volunteerism, social responsibility, and sustainable change.” Recently on CNN’s “Black in America” series, Malaak was spotlighted for her humanitarian efforts. More specifically, Malaak’s charity, “Journey for Change,” was featured for sponsoring 30 underprivileged teens for a trip to South Africa where the teens did voluntary work for the even less fortunate.
Malaak’s commitment to service has taught her daughters about giving back. For instance, just this month, Zahra and Lola participated in Journey for Change’s second annual car wash fundraiser to benefit the educational fund in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and to raise money for an orphan in South Africa.

Those little girls are so cute….I think volunteer work is very important too….Thats why I volunteer at my local YMCA
they are so adorable, 50/50 of their parents
that little one is such a cutie pie!!…but they all look cute tho
I really appreciate what Mrs Rock & others do for the poor in South Africa. I’m happy when others take an interest in my country & help where they can. There’s much work to be done & every bit is really appreciated, especially by those directly impacted by poverty.
I love these little girls and I just adore their father. Chris always seemed like he was one of my children. And sooooo funny.
eeww sorry but that doesnt look right lmao
Finally–A celebrity wife with a cause! I’m deeply encouraged by her humanitarian efforts and the impact she is making on her daughters lives along the way.
Cute kids.
Malaak needs 2 be more conscientious however. She wears long wigs & weaves, then wonders y her daughters cray about their hair! Zahara/Lola r the reason Chris made the documentary “Good Hair”. & no matter how beautiful Chris tells his daugthers that they r, seeing their mom wear the hair she does IS AFFECTING THEM.
I get that youre in the corporate world Malaak. But u def should wear a more real looking weave/wig so u wont continue 2 damage your kid psyche.
THEY ARE SOME BEAUTIFUL GIRLS. STILL MAD THAT CHRIS HAD TO EXPLAIN TO HIS DAUGHTER WHY HER HAIR IS NAPPY. THAT ONLY CAME FROM SOMEONE BLACK MOUTH. BLACK PEEPS REALLY NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER.
I wonder when we will stop doing damage to our children, especially our little girls with this whole hair thing. It’s so stupid and we have so many other things to do that are way more important than hair. We seem to move away from it and then as a new generation emerges, we get right back to the same stupid taboos SKIN COLOR AND HAIR. Will we ever learn from our mistakes. I, for one, will be glad when this hair fad passes. I keep wondering when Black women will get enough hair. I am so sick of all these long flowing unnatural looking weaves.
I knew who Zahra was when I saw her but not Lola. They are pretty and they are growing fast.
i have a relaxer but i still have nice long thick hair and the childrens hair should look better than it does cause i know for sure their father and mother gets paid with the money they earn should go to care for their hair needs a lil i mean a lot of TLC meaning brush comb and oil grease whatever you want to call it nd i might be 13 but i know they really need it. but the lil one is too cute. she should be in hair shows. older one you got a long way to go.
I think the girls hair looks very nice and neat. Thank goodness their parents are keeping it healthy.
