A third person wrote,

"now this warms my entire soul. Make sure you guys hold each other up and push one another to the finish line. #blackexcellence."

It feels like it was just yesterday that Kimora's daughter shared an emotional video of the moment she learned of her acceptance to the Ivy League school on her Instagram account.

She wrote,

"I'm only 16, and I'm going to Harvard baby!" before adding a crying face emoji.

Aoki also used the platform to make a joke about the infamous college admission scandal that involved some celebrities like Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin.

The teenager concluded her message by thanking everyone that's helped her through the journey.

"I am excited and honored, and so so grateful." She wrote.

Aoki's mother, Kimora also shared the good news on Instagram. The proud mom shared a video of her son Kenzo Lee reading Aoki's admissions letter out loud. The teenager who was also in the clip could be seen grinning as her brother read the message.

Before going to school, Aoki had her eyebrows done by Giselle Soto, a celebrity eyebrow specialist. According to the Harvard student, it was her sister Ming Lee that inspired her to get an eyebrow transformation.

The teenager was also a target of racism back in high school, but she took to Instagram to let her harassers know she doesn't have time to deal with such people because she has more important things to do, like working towards getting into an ivy league school.

Her dream finally came true!
