The University of Oxford, a prestigious institution in England active since 1096, is preparing to host Bhad Bhabie (aka Danielle Bregoli) for a coveted speaking gig.
This news was announced on Thursday morning by TMZ, and Oxford has invited Bhad Bhabie to speak to students at The Oxford Union, the self-proclaimed “world’s foremost debating society.”

This news comes less than a month after Bhad Bhabie announced the “Bhad Scholarship,” an initiative that aims to split $1.7M between 1,000 students enrolled in trade and technical schools, as Blavity previously reported.
“I know that there’s a lot of kids out there that really want to get real jobs and want to work hard, but they just don’t have the money to provide it,” the 19-year-old said of the initiative, according to Yahoo Life. “I thought it was an amazing idea.”

We should also note that Bhad Bhabie partnered up with a scholarship program called the Educapital Foundation for this pursuit.
“We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with Bhad Bhabie that allows us to continue our mission to eliminate poverty through trade school education,” Dr. Brenita Mitchell, founder of the Educapital Foundation, said in a press release.
“While developing this scholarship program, it was great collaborating with Educapital’s Aisha Rodriguez & Dr. Brenita Mitchell, both amazing women giving amazing opportunities to the next generation of entrepreneurs,” Bhad Bhabie added in the same announcement.
“We didn’t want to just give out tuition funds, but also help the grads with startup capital to launch their own businesses. I can’t wait to see what these young hustlers do,” she continued.
Now, the “Gucci Flip Flops” artist is taking on the Oxford podium — a platform that has been shared by noteworthy figures like Albert Einstein, Malcom X, Mother Theresa, Ronald Reagan, Shakira, Sir Elton John and the 14th Dalai Lama, TMZ reports.
Shoutout to Bhad Bhabie for securing this gig, and we look forward to seeing what other opportunities she’ll pursue in the future.
