Beautiful twin identified as Keyara and Teyara Watson-Love has made history as they simultaneously graduated from Lamar University with a Master’s degree.
The twin sisters bags Master’s degrees in Speech-Language Pathology, a profession where there is only about 3% of African American women.
The 25-year-old sisters credit their parents, Michael and Sarah, for their success because they always wanted and encouraged their children to get an education.
As teenagers, Keyara and Teyara graduated from E.L. Furr High School with the highest honors and were in the top 10 percent of their graduating class.
They went on to attend Texas Woman’s University in Denton, Texas where they received their Bachelors of Science Degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders of Oral Health with Summa Cum Laude and Magna Cum Laude honors.

When asked why they chose to major in Speech-Language Pathology, the twin said they decided to go into this profession because they are very big on helping others and serving their communities, and they find communication difficulties interesting.
In their words: “As little girls, we watched our grandmother Ruth Watson help so many people throughout their lives. She had a very big heart and she never hesitated to give anyone a helping hand whenever she could.”
Keyara and Teyara also said that they take their faith in God very seriously and believe that this has helped them get to where they are today.
Both now have successful careers working in their fields of expertise. Keyara works at Eastview Healthcare and Rehabilitation and Teyara works at Copperfield Healthcare and Rehabilitation in the Houston area.
Their jobs involve serving patients in nursing homes with speech, language, cognition, and swallowing difficulties. Just like their grandmother taught them, they want to be as much of a help to others as she was to the ones she knew and cared for.
