The kids are alright, ya’ll.
Your favorite stars are partaking in graduation season as they celebrate their children for successfully completing certain levels of schooling. From pre-k and kindergarten graduates to college grads, some of the kids you may remember as little babies are growing up fast.
That includes Karma Bridges, the daughter of rapper Ludacris, who recently graduated summa cum laude from Spelman College on May 19. She received a bachelor’s degree in Documentary Filmmaking and was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society.
“I want to make movie and film content that helps shape and change the social and political landscape!” she shared in a statement to her dad’s Ludacris Foundation. “Tell stories that are meaningful and thought provoking. I’ve always been drawn to storytelling due to its ability to heal, inspire, educate, create empathy, and ultimately catalyze positive change in the world.”
She continued, “As a young black woman, there’s an indescribable joy when I encounter films or TV shows that authentically and comprehensively represent individuals like me. I believe that exposure to diverse narratives enable people to connect on a profound level, breaking stereotypes and creating a deeper understanding of each other’s lives. As I move into the next stage in my life, I plan to make a difference in my community through telling unique and authentic stories that resonate with me and that will hopefully one day inspire those that will come after me.”
This beauty has a bright future ahead of her. And so do the young people on this growing list of celebrity kids who are new graduates.
