This AKA’s Mother Joined the Same Chapter and Became Her Legacy Exactly Ten Years After Her Own Initiation

This year, NaAsiaha “Ny” Simon watched her mother, Endena Humphrey, become a new initiate of the Mu Zeta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. in Stockton, California. The two women entered the sisterhood through the same chapter, exactly ten years apart. Endena was initiated just five days before her daughter Ny celebrated her own 10-year AKAversary.

To add to it, they were both sponsored and co-sponsored by the same sorority sisters Lajuana Bivens and Raychelle Fields, who are mother and daughter duo themselves.

Ny joined Alpha Kappa Alpha in 2016. “When I joined the sisterhood in 2016, I never imagined that a decade later I would witness my mother take the same path, become a member of the same chapter that shaped my journey, and begin her own legacy of service and sisterhood,” she said in a statement sent to Watch The Yard.

For Ny, the moment reaches past membership and into something generational. “It is a rare and beautiful full-circle moment that connects us through both family and fraternity,” she said. “To now call my mother both my mother and my Soror is a dream come true.”

Watch The Yard congratulates NaAsiaha “Ny” Simon and Endena Humphrey on a milestone ten years in the making.
