Pop star, entrepreneur, and media personality JoJo Siwa has added another impressive milestone to her already colorful résumé — and this time, it’s academic.
In what she described as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, JoJo Siwa Delivers Inspiring Speech at Harvard Business School, Calling It the “Coolest Thing I’ve Ever Done.” The multi-hyphenate entertainer took to social media on Thursday (Feb. 12) to reveal that she recently stood at the front of a classroom at Harvard Business School, addressing a room full of future leaders and entrepreneurs.
A Dream Moment on an Ivy League Stage
Sharing snapshots from the iconic campus of Harvard University, Siwa reflected on the surreal opportunity. Posing proudly in front of the historic buildings and inside a lecture hall, she expressed gratitude for being invited to speak alongside her partners from the gut health brand Belli Welli.
According to Siwa, the room was filled with “brilliant minds, passionate entrepreneurs, and future changemakers,” making the experience both humbling and unforgettable. The singer emphasized how meaningful it felt to share her entrepreneurial journey in such a prestigious academic setting.
She described the moment as a dream come true, saying it reminded her why she continues to push forward in her career — not only as a performer but also as a businesswoman. For Siwa, the event symbolized growth, perseverance, and the importance of always being willing to learn.
From Stage Lights to Classroom Chalkboards
Belli Welli also shared behind-the-scenes footage of Siwa inside the classroom, where she could be seen sitting among students and even writing on the chalkboard — a playful yet powerful image that fans quickly embraced.
The appearance highlighted a different side of the former reality TV star, who first rose to fame on Dance Moms. Over the years, she has transformed from a young dancer into a global brand, building businesses, releasing music, and cultivating a devoted fan base.
Her speech at Harvard Business School showcased her evolution from entertainer to entrepreneur, proving that her ambitions stretch far beyond the stage.
A Comeback After a Health Scare
The Ivy League visit comes just months after Siwa faced a frightening health challenge toward the end of 2025. Ahead of a planned concert in Minnesota, she suffered a ruptured stomach cyst that required immediate medical attention and hospitalization.
Fortunately, she appears to have made a strong recovery. In recent weeks, Siwa has been sharing glimpses of her personal life, including photos from a Palm Springs getaway with her boyfriend, Chris Hughes, whom she met through the reality series Big Brother.
Music, Momentum, and What’s Next
Beyond her business ventures, Siwa has continued to release new music. In November, she dropped “Message to the World (Little Drummer Girl),” following October’s “Waste of a Heartbreak.” These releases marked yet another chapter in her artistic evolution as she continues to redefine her sound and public image.
Still, even with chart ambitions and entrepreneurial goals on the horizon, speaking at Harvard Business School may remain one of her proudest achievements.
As she put it herself, the opportunity to say she addressed students at Harvard might just top everything she’s done so far. For a performer who has conquered arenas, television, and now academia, that’s saying something.
And if her journey proves anything, it’s that JoJo Siwa isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
