"Last week! Mister son Rise was into psychology 🤣," she captioned the shot, which shows the infant in her arms as she sits at a table with a laptop in front of her.

"I won't stop this doctoral path no matter what anyone says ✨ student mom life while exclusively breastfeeding 🤍."

Bell also noted that her campus has areas exclusively for moms who need to pump, sharing a photo of a sign on a door that reads, "Please do not disturb. I am pumping for my baby and I need privacy."

"Love when your rights as a mother and student are supported," the mom of three wrote.

Later, Bell shared a post on Instagram with a photo of her pumping and candidly spoke more about what being a mom and a student looks like for her.

"On-campus breaks between class these days. The mom life only reminds me of my power. 🤍 never let the doubt of others overcome the faith in you 🙏🏽," she wrote.

Bell continued, "Pursuing my doctorate as a mother of three may not be recommended but that's ok 😊 I'm doing it as my kids watch mommy go for it despite anything doubting my ability to do so 📚🧠✨ #studentmom #momlife #mamagang #womenempowerment."
