It’s a double celebration for American model Kimora Lee Simmons as she and her eldest daughter graduated at the same time.
Kimora, 43, earned her college degree at the same time her daughter Ming Lee Simmons, 18, earned her high school degree. Kimora secured a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business and Entrepreneurial Affairs from the University of Hartford in Connecticut.
Kimora proudly told US Weekly: “It’s been a whirlwind. Well, Ming Lee says I stole her light. She’s upset to have to share it with me, but it’s a great example of setting an example for yourself and your kids. When they say you’re never too old to go back, it’s true. No matter what situation you’re in, it’s possible.”
She also said: “My cap and gown was the best gown I’ve ever worn. And my favourite accessory to go with it, my National Honors Society tassel!.”
“I didn’t know it was going to be as emotional as it was, but it was, and I was nervous! … It’s never too late to go back to school and get your degree. It had nothing to do with my business. I’ve taught classes and they’ve taken my speeches and turned them into six-week courses on entrepreneurship.”
