“I wonder if the school didn’t let her walk at graduation like they did ole girl from FAMU,” tweeted one user.
She replied: “I also got a similar comment on my insta and yes I did walk- but you also can’t really compare the situations other than we both look good? I’m in a swimsuit and the FAMU girl was naked… what matters is we are both educated and fine as hell.”
In addition to receiving overwhelming praise, her comment section was filled with compliments, with one person describing her as “talented” and another admiring her as “incredibly badass.”

Users are reminded of the stark contrast in reception as a Florida student’s nude graduation photos sparked controversy, while a male high schooler wearing a bathrobe was hailed as a “legend.”
Undeterred by critics, her remarkable achievement speaks for itself. Graduating Magna Cum Laude (3.8 GPA) with $40,000+ scholarships, she challenges her trolls to reflect on themselves.
