Gizelle Bryant Visits Daughter Grace at FAMU for Family Weekend
Gizelle Bryant, star of The Real Housewives of Potomac, recently enjoyed a mini-family reunion with her eldest daughter, Grace Bryant, at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU). The visit took place during FAMU's Family Weekend, offering Gizelle a glimpse into Grace's college life.
Experiencing FAMU Family Weekend
On September 27th, Gizelle shared moments from FAMU's Family Weekend on Instagram. The weekend included a mixer, movie night, a fraternity/sorority yard performance, and a tailgate event for the FAMU Rattlers vs. Alabama State Hornets football game. The highlight of Gizelle's post was the tailgate event at Bragg Memorial Stadium, featuring a video of her and Grace dancing and shots of the Marching 100 band.
Grace, now a 20-year-old junior pursuing a degree in public relations, discussed the adjustments she made to college life in a November 2024 interview with The Daily Dish. She mentioned initial challenges of being recognized from TV, but noted that it has since become easier to handle.
"At the beginning, it was hard to get adjusted to that," Grace said. "People would take videos of me or say comments about who I am under their breath. Now it is easier to deal with and has been dialed back."

Life as an Empty-Nester and Daughters' College Journeys
In addition to Grace, Gizelle Bryant is also mother to 19-year-old twins, Adore and Angel Bryant. Both are also in their sophomore year of college. Adore attends Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia, studying international relations, while Angel majors in health science at Spelman College in Atlanta.
Gizelle shared her thoughts on being an empty-nester on the August 25th episode of her podcast, "Reasonably Shady," with Robyn Dixon. She encouraged other empty nesters to embrace this new chapter in their lives.
“I do want to give hope for the empty nesters out here,” Gizelle said. “It is a new world. I feel, like, embrace it. In the beginning, it's like a breakup, you know? In a breakup, you're all sad and it's like your heart is broken. You're like, ‘Oh my gosh, life is over.’ And then you get over that, and it's just like, ‘You know what? It's about me.’”
Despite her daughters being away at college, Gizelle emphasizes the strong bond they maintain, communicating frequently.
