All the Grammy and music awards in the world couldn’t be as rewarding as seeing your child walk a graduation stage. We are sure if you ask the living legend , singer, Toni Braxton, she would say just that. Congratulations and BIG UPS are in order as Toni Braxton’s baby boy, Diezel, graduated from thee Howard University this past weekend.
Diezel Ky Braxton-Lewis, 22 years old, is the son of R&B singer Toni Braxton and her former husband, Keri Lewis formerly of the band ‘Mint Condition’. Diezel made his acting debut at age nine in the Lifetime movie Twist of Faith, which also starred his mother. Diezel has also modeled with his brother, Denim for Marcell Von Berlin and in a Diesel campaign with his mother. In 2018, at age 15, Diezel signed with Wilhelmina Models, a leading modeling agency. Before he decided to further his education at the legendary HBCU, Howard University.
If that wasn’t enough, look at God! Diezel was diagnosed as autistic at three years old. In 2020 Global Autism Ambassador for Autism Speaks, Toni Braxton, announced that she’s “one of the lucky parents” because her son “is off the spectrum.” The spectrum she referred to is a medical term used to identify a wide range of symptoms, skills, and levels of disability for those with autism.
Toni Braxton shared her best Mother’s Day gift ever, with the world, as she posted pictures from Diezel’s graduation day with their family in attendance.
This makes college graduate number two for Toni Braxton who’s eldest son, 23 years old, Denim back in March walked across the stage at Grand Canyon University, where he earned his degree in sports management.
