Chelsea’s Graduation

by on ‎05-20-2015 10:43 AM

I cannot begin to express the overwhelming joy we experienced watching Chelsea receive her college degree. It was a feeling of pride, relief, joy, gratitude, and of course a lot of anticipation about what the future holds for her.



We’ve been so blessed to be able to give our daughters the opportunity to attend college, something that many people might not be able to do for their children. We felt it’s so important to stress to both Lauren and Chelsea how fortunate we have been and they know to work hard in all they do on behalf of those who may never have this a chance to go to college.



Chelsea was a four-year scholar athlete on the women’s basketball team and graduated cum laude with a BA in business administration. The Multicultural Coalition that she served on awarded her the beautiful sash she wore. 




In the summer before her freshman year of college, James and I talked to Chelsea about her hopes, dreams, and goals for the future. Although, like many freshman entering college, she wasn’t sure what her calling was just yet, she clearly understood that she was embarking on the next chapter in her journey and was committed to making her college experience one that she would cherish her entire life. If I had any advice for parents who are about to start this journey with their children, it would be to let them go, let them grow, be there when they fall, hold them accountable, and love them always because they are the future. 






Good luck to all the 2015 graduates. Congratulations to the parents, grandparents, family, and friends who supported them…it certainly takes a village! God bless and God speed.


In the midst of all the celebrating (and preparing for the long holiday weekend!), we hope you’ll join Pat and I for Fashionably Late this Friday, May 22 at 10pm ET.
