The announcement was made on GMA as well by Roberts.
“We had a formal in-person induction ceremony a couple of months ago but we were asked to keep it quiet until today,” Roberts stated. “And my mother, Howard University, she was a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, so I am a legacy member and I remember hearing her voice had so much pride when she talked about her experience and its really based on sisterhood and its based on service. Service to all.”
