Her inspirations 

Megan has been an advocate for education since she stepped on the scene. 

In June 2020, she told People she was determined to finish her degree to honor both her late mother and her late grandmother.
“I want to get my degree because I really want my mom to be proud,” she told People. “She saw me going to school before she passed.” Megan’s mother,  Holly Thomas, died in March 2019 after battling brain cancer.

The “Cry Baby” rapper added, “I want my big mama to be proud. She saw me going to school before she passed,” referring to her grandmother. “My grandmother that’s still alive used to be a teacher, so she’s on my butt about finishing school. I’m doing it for me, but I’m also doing it for the women in my family who made me who I am today.”

Putting the degree to work 

Megan aspires to open an assisted living facility in Houston, which she says she will use her money from rapping to open and let her classmates operate it. 

“I watched my grandmother take care of my great-grandmother all my life,” she told Good Morning America last March. “Just watching these two little old ladies take care of each other, I was like, ‘Y’all need some help.'”
The graduate started her college journey at Prairie View A&M University and transferred to Texas Southern University.
“My college experience has been a roller coaster!,” she tweeted back in July. “I started at PV went to some community colleges in between and I’m ending at TSU,” she wrote. “Don’t get discouraged! You can chase your dreams and your education at the same time .”
