Eva Longoria recently received her Masters degree in Chicano and Chicana Studies at Cal Stat University Northridge. The former President of the United States, Bill Clinton, congratulated the actress on her achievement.
Former President, Bill Clinton took to his Twitter this week to congratulate Longoria on receiving her Masters.
Longoria responded, “Thank u Mr. President.” The 38-year-old actress started working on her Masters when she was still starring on Desperate Housewives, according to Perez Hilton. The actress was joined by her parents, family and Ready for Love stars Ernesto Arguello and Ben Patton, according to JustJared.
Longoria recently started advocating for Latino issues on Capitol Hill according to the Houston Chronicle. Longoria visited DC to advocate for Latina owned businesses. She went in front of the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee to encourage them to help the Latina community overcome barriers in order to achieve success. “If Congress really wants to create jobs and increase our global competitiveness, it needs to invest in programs like the Women’s Business Centers, which give Latinas the resources they need to create thriving small businesses,” the actress turned advocate told the committee. Longoria struggled against similar barriers and wants to be an example of what can be achieved when someone works hard and is determined.
