Last week, Campbell and her close friends celebrated the honor with an intimate party. Sean “Love” P-Diddy Combs helped his long-time friend commemorate the moment with a cake that had the model’s baby picture on it, adorned with countless candles.

Campbell is proof that life gets better with age. Although she’s had an inspirational career as a Black supermodel, life after 50 is just as empowering. Not only did the model become a mother at 50 years old, but she’s also adding new accolades to her resume, like an honorary doctorate.
