Mama Kandi Burruss has one amazing reason to be so proud — her baby girl, Riley Burruss, has graduated from high school and is heading to college, where she plans to become a lawyer.

The 17-year-old was supposed to graduate with the rest of her class, but because of the coronavirus pandemic, Kandi had to get creative and come up with beautiful yard signs and balloons.

Todd Tucker, Ace, and baby Blaze were all present to help Riley celebrate outside with face masks on. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star was beyond happy because Riley’s unique graduation fell on Mother’s Day.

Riley’s stepsister, Kaela Tucker, Tiny Harris, and Tamar Braxton all stepped in the comment section to praise her.

Kandi penned this message for her daughter: “Today was the day my baby @rileyburruss was supposed to get her diploma. Unfortunately, because of the quarantine, the graduation has been postponed, but I still want to congratulate my baby & let her know I am sooooo proud of her! This is the start of a new chapter & so many more major accomplishments to come. Congratulations @rileyburruss & the class of 2020!”

Riley shared a few photos from her special event and captioned them: “Since graduation would have been today, the fam came through to congratulate me❤️ Thank you to everyone who came and showed love! NYU next!💜🤍 #socialdistancing”

Kandi, who cannot stop praising her daughter, shared a second post where she revealed: “Being a mother & a daughter makes this a day to be celebrated as well as celebrate. I took this pic yesterday with my mom @mamajoyce1_ that I love so much & my babies @rileyburruss @acetucker @blazetucker & my hubby @todd167. Only missing @kpt__! I feel like Mother’s Day started yesterday. So much love! Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. I hope you’re having a wonderful day today!”

One fan, who is delighted by Riley’s accomplishments, said: “Love her hair like that 😍 We’ve seen her grow up to be a beautiful young lady🙏🏽. Congrats Riley!!!! 🎈🎈🎈”

Another commenter revealed: “Omg!! My hair is so cute!!! Congratulations 🎉
I’ve just finished binge-watching RHOA from the beginning, Riley has become a beautiful young lady, just like her mum xx. 💕”

This backer stated: “I can’t believe how “grown-up” she is. The little girl we met years ago on RHOA is now a young woman. 👏😊And look at Baby Blaze in her Cheetah! 😍😍”
