Proud parents Gizelle and Jamal Bryant are celebrating their twin daughters’ remarkable academic achievements during their freshman year of college.

HBCU Excellence: Twin Sisters Shine at Prestigious Black Colleges
Angel Bryant has been thriving at Spelman College in Atlanta, earning recognition for her outstanding academic performance. Her father proudly posed with her for a commemorative photo at the induction ceremony. The prestigious women’s college has welcomed Angel into its honors program after just two semesters.
Meanwhile, Adore Bryant has been equally successful at Hampton University in Virginia. During her induction ceremony, she was accompanied by her grandfather, Bishop John Bryant, who represented the family while Jamal attended Angel’s ceremony. Hampton University holds special significance for the family as Gizelle herself is an alumna.
Balancing Academics and Life: Achievement Beyond the Classroom
Beyond their academic excellence, the Bryant twins have maintained an active college lifestyle. They recently took a girls’ trip to South Africa with their mother, Real Housewives of Potomac star Gizelle Bryant. This balance of rigorous academics and enriching experiences showcases their well-rounded approach to college life.
Adore has particularly distinguished herself as a leader at Hampton. Gizelle proudly shared on Instagram that Adore not only earned honor society membership but also served as creative director for the Freshman Fashion Show. “So proud of MY ADORE. This blue blazer means that she has been inducted into Hampton University’s Honor Society then she rocked the runway,” Gizelle wrote, adding “#thriving

Bryant Family Legacy: Education and Achievement Central to Family Values
The twins’ academic success reflects the Bryant family’s emphasis on education and excellence. Their older sister, Grace Bryant, is also pursuing higher education as a sophomore at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University in Tallahassee. All three daughters attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
Jamal Bryant, senior pastor at New Birth Ministry in Georgia, and Gizelle, a Hampton University graduate herself, have remained dedicated co-parents despite divorcing in 2009 after seven years of marriage. Though they briefly rekindled their relationship in 2019, they continue to prioritize their daughters’ wellbeing and achievements above all else.
Co-Parenting Success: Former Couple Unites in Celebrating Daughters’ Achievements
The Bryants demonstrate effective co-parenting through their continued support of their daughters’ educational journeys. Both parents have been visibly present and enthusiastic about their twins’ accomplishments. Family support extended across generations, with grandfather Bishop John Bryant attending Adore’s ceremony in Virginia.
Pastor Jamal Bryant has since moved forward in his personal life. He married Dr. Karri Turner in November 2024 after a May engagement at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. Nevertheless, his commitment to his daughters remains unwavering, as evidenced by his proud attendance at Angel’s honor program induction.
First-Year Phenomenon: Twins Achieve Rare Academic Distinction as Freshmen
The twins’ induction into honor programs during their freshman year represents an exceptional achievement. Maintaining perfect 4.0 GPAs through their first year of college demonstrates remarkable discipline and academic aptitude. Their success comes despite the challenging transition from high school to university life.
Their simultaneous achievements at different institutions highlight not only their individual talents but also the strong foundation they received from their parents. The Bryant family’s celebration of these accomplishments emphasizes the value they place on education and academic excellence among Black youth.
