According to Houston Style Magazine, Bobby Brown and Alicia were presented with their honorary doctorate degrees on March 4. The outlet adds that the accolade was given to the couple by the Leaders Esteem Christian Bible University, which is an “accredited Christian Bible University.”
The honorary doctorates reportedly honored the couple’s “notable philanthropic contributions” through the Bobbi Kristina Serenity House. Black Enterprise reports that Brown launched the foundation in 2015 after the passing of his and the late Whitney Houston’s daughter.
The foundation strives to “bring awareness to the epidemic of domestic violence against women,” per Houston Style Magazine.
“The Bobbi Kristina’s Serenity House is committed to empowerment; regaining power within, instead of seeking approval and power from the outside sources. We intend on being the voice for the voiceless,” the foundation’s website reads, per the outlet.
It’s important to highlight the couple received their honorary degrees on what would have been Bobbi Kristina’s 31st birthday.
Bobby Brown commemorated the event with the following video and statement on his social media below:
