MEET THE GENIUS BUSH FAMILY; TEENS HAVE MASTER’S DEGREES, MOM IS ATTORNEY AND ARCHITECT

It has to be America’s most amazing family. Meet the Bushes from South Florida overachievers who stand at the ready to serve their country. Gisla and Bobby Bush have 9 children, who are some of the brightest young minds in the US.

Three of the oldest had graduated from college while they were still teenagers.

Gabrielle Bush graduated from college with a Bachelor’s Degree in health administration at 18. At 19 she received her Master’s Degree in public administration.

Grace Bush graduated from high school and college in the same week at 16. At 18 she earned her Master’s Degree in public administration.

Gisla Bush was only 18 when she graduated from college with a Bachelor’s Degree in urban design.

Other children are home-schooled as the rest of the family. All of them play musical instruments.

Their mom was asked about the secret source:

I bet you haven’t heard about this family that raise prodigy kids. The media always keep silent about successful Black people. 

That’s why representation matters.

shiiiiiiiet lemme hold a lesson plan.

It’s not uncommon for us West Indian/Carribean folk to have coffee at an early age. Café Bustelo was a staple in my home; it’s one of my favourites!

I’m always here for cinnamon in my coffee/espresso drinks but the orange is something new. I definetely plan on trying this!
