Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that a woman and her daughter had graduated from law school on the same day.
The idea and quest to pursue law came to Daphne in 2009 while she meticulously gathered evidence for her divorce, and in 2017, she finally decided to return to school. While at it, her daughter Edriuna earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science from Tuskegee University and was accepted to several law schools in the same year.
Daphne’s daughter entered the Birmingham School of Law, where she had previously enrolled. Despite the challenges they experience as a family, the mother-daughter duo overcame them.
