LL Cool J and Phaedra Parks both received degrees this week. Find out about their graduations inside...
LL Cool J pulled double duty during Northeastern University's graduation as proud parent AND graduate. First, his daughter Italia Smith graduated with honors and then the university presented him with an honorary Doctor of Arts degree. “For them to recognize my body of work and my contributions to the world of art is an amazing feeling,” he said.
Down in Alabama...
Phaedra Parks is now a licensed funeral director. Her good friend Kandi Burruss traveled to Alabama to watch her graduate. She captioned,
"Took a road trip to Alabama to see @phaedraparks graduate today! She didn't know I was coming. I am so proud of her!!! She inspires me. For her to be a mother of two, a wife, run her own law firm, write books, make DVDs, be on a tv show, etc.... Yet still go back to school & get her degree in Funeral Service Education is incredible! She commits herself wholeheartedly to everything she does. She's a true BOSS! Everybody send @phaedraparks love today!"
Congrats Phaedra!
