McDonough mother and daughter graduate together

This Mother’s Day is twice as sweet for one local family after a mother and daughter duo turned the "college experience" into a shared success story. Tikila McBride, 50, and her daughter, Kiara, 24, recently crossed the graduation stage together after earning their degrees simultaneously from Southern New Hampshire University. The pair, hailing from Henry County, decided to tackle their academic goals as a team, proving that it’s never too late—or too early—to lean on family for support.
