Laura Dern is a proud mom of not just one, but two high school graduates. On June 5, the “Big Little Lies” star posted pics of the family at Jaya’s high school graduation, which included her father Ben Harper, brother Ellery, and grandmother Diane Ladd. “The most amazing milestone to experience. My baby graduated high school … Jaya. I’m so proud of you and your incredible heart and voice. I’m in awe of you,” Dern gushed. Jaya celebrated by posting a pic of herself giving a commencement speech and while it’s unclear if she’s headed to college, a friend replied, “Congrats!!! Can’t wait for your next chapter in NYC!”

Jaya was seen wearing a pin that said “Bans off our bodies,” and following her graduation, the young activist posted an Instagram pic of herself at the U.S. Capitol and shared, “We delivered a letter to Leader Schumer today, on the 4th day of the sit-in, to urge him to put the assault weapons ban on the Senate floor for a vote. Gen Z wants to know where our lawmakers stand on this issue- and we will keep fighting until we see a change made.” Jaya is clearly following in her mother’s footsteps and just like their shared desire for social change, the young teen also wants to make it in Hollywood.
