JoJo Siwa Speaks at Harvard Business School: ‘Might Be the Coolest Thing Ever’

JoJo Siwa addressed a class at Harvard Business School on Thursday, February 12, calling the experience “might be the coolest thing I’ve ever done,” according to a post on her Instagram account.

The dancer, singer, and entrepreneur spoke to students alongside her partners from Belli Welli, a gut health company, sharing insights on entrepreneurship and the importance of gut health. Siwa described the opportunity as an “incredible honor” and said presenting to a room “full of brilliant minds, passionate entrepreneurs, and future changemakers was truly unforgettable.”

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to do this,” Siwa wrote. “What a dream. Moments like this remind me why I love what I do and how essential it is to preserve showing up, keep learning, and to just keep going.”

Belli Welli shared a video of Siwa in the Harvard classroom, writing on a chalkboard and engaging with students. The visit followed a health scare for Siwa at the end of 2025, when a stomach cyst ruptured, requiring hospitalization just before a scheduled performance in Minnesota, according to reports.

Siwa, 22, has built a successful entertainment and business empire since rising to fame on the reality television show “Dance Moms.” Her appearance at the Ivy League institution underscores her growing influence as a young entrepreneur, according to National Today.

Prior to her visit to Harvard, Siwa shared photos with her boyfriend, Chris Hughes, a costar from “Considerable Brother,” during a trip to Palm Springs.
