Williams who recently graduated with her Masters’s degree in Counselor Education viral image can be seen posing nude in front of the famed Rattler Statue located on the campus in a post with the caption “Anybody who knows me knows that I’ve been dressing provocative my whole life. There’s a lot of assumptions that have came with me accepting my body. A lot of people questioned my capabilities and intelligence solely based on how I choose to dress. As I’m standing here with my Masters Degree at the tender age of 24, I am the living proof that clothes do not define you. I encouraged every body to embrace their bodies and step outside social norms. “ With love, Terica Williams, M.Ed.

That girl at FAMU just pissed me off. Cause why tf would you do that? Maybe the goal was to go viral and you definitely did that but at the same time you make get your degree revoked and on top of that you’re making not only your school but black people in general looking crazy.
