Mother and Daughter Graduate Together from Alabama State University
Written by Site Hub on June 4, 2025
Nicole Cosby, 46, and her daughter Kaiya King, 22, recently shared a milestone moment—graduating together from Alabama State University. Cosby, earning a Bachelor of Science in Social Work, had paused her college education in 2001 due to mental health challenges but returned in 2023 with a renewed purpose. Her journey back was driven by a desire to provide professional care to underserved communities and the support of her daughter, who was already enrolled. King received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance, overcoming financial hardships with the help of ASU’s retention scholarship, ASU Cares. Their concurrent academic journeys brought them closer, with Kaiya describing the experience as “meant to be.” Looking ahead, Cosby plans to pursue a Master’s in Social Work at the University of Michigan, while King is exploring careers in business and marketing. Their story is a powerful example of resilience, family support, and breaking barriers together.
