In her post, Tsitsi wrote:
“Thank you again, Bryant University for honouring me with an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters for my work. The award is for all of us who make our vision possible—the partners who fund the work, the staff who serve in our foundations, and dedicated community leaders.
“I was truly humbled and grateful for this award. It was wonderful to be part of this year’s commencement ceremony and witness many young and ambitious students receive their degrees and start their next journey.
“The day was even more memorable because my daughter, Vimbai, graduated from Bryant in 2017. May God bless you all mightily.”
Tsitsi Masiyiwa’s daughter, Vimbai, was recently recognized as one of Africa’s 30 trailblazing individuals under 30. Vimbai, who leads Batoka Africa, proudly announced her achievement on Instagram, expressing gratitude to Forbes Africa for listing her among the top young leaders in the business world.
