Family Celebrates 3 Generations of Women Graduating This Year

This isn’t just any school year for the Flennoy family – this is the year that five different women from three familial generations graduate from their respective schools.

LaWanda Flennoy was excited enough to be celebrating her own college graduation with an Associate’s degree in psychology from South Suburban College in Chicago, Illinois. But in addition to her own achievement, her two elder daughters, Paris and Amari, are also graduating from Chicago State University and the University of Illinois.

Her third daughter, Jade, graduated from high school and plans on studying criminal justice at Illinois State University. LaWanda’s granddaughter Brooklyn simply graduated from kindergarten.

The celebratory photo shoot, captured by Darryl Hammond, showcases the unique beauty of each woman – and the family’s accomplishment as a whole.

“Yep, this is really happening this year…three generations of graduates,” says LaWanda. “Congrats to my three daughters and my granddaughter. Education is important at every age.”
