Single mom who moved her family from New Orleans to Houston after devastation of Hurricane Katrina celebrates her son's graduation by holding commencement ceremony in her backyard.
Ayanna Tatum held a backyard graduation ceremony for her son, Baylor University graduate Derrick Williams.
Williams had already picked up his graduation cap and gown when Baylor decided to cancel its graduation and instead show graduates' names on the scoreboard of the university's football stadium. She jumped into action and in just a matter of days turned the backyard of her Houston home into a mini replica of the Baylor University graduation stage.
"I pulled up and saw all of the decorations in the front of the house and saw people moving a stage in the back," Williams told"GMA.""At the time I didn't put two and two together, that it would be used for a ceremony, but I started eyeing my mom, like, 'What's going on?', and she just smiled."
