Makiah Shipp has shared her pride in her boyfriend Blake Corum's football accomplishments. The running back helped lead the Michigan Wolverines to a national championship and then months later was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams.

Now, Corum is sharing his excitement for Makiah Shipp's educational accomplishments. She graduated from Arizona State University with a Master's in elementary education and teaching. Shipp obtained her Bachelor's Degree in public policy analysis from the University of Michigan.

"Been Ms. Makiah for a while, but now it’s official. Two degrees, at 21 years old, looks good on me! I wish I could say it’s luck, but it’s the hustle. I mastered it!"

Corum then re-shared the Instagram post and expressed how excited he was in a now-expired Instagram story:

"Proud of you baby girl. Keep being great!!" Corum wrote.

Not only has Shipp earned two college degrees at such a young age, but she is also a published author. Her children's book: "Makiah's Show and Tell" was released in 2023, and she has traveled around the United States doing readings with a group of elementary school children.
