The past few days have been quite eventful for Megan Thee Stallion.

She graduated from Texas Southern University and received her diploma on Saturday, December 11. Then on the following day, she was given the 18th congressional district of Texas hero award by Houston Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.

“This award has not been given out often or to many,” said Lee at the event. “That is why it remains a special part in our congressional district. The district has almost 1 million people. When this award is given, it has that special promise and special history.”

Megan spoke as well.

“I’ve only been raised by very giving women, so I definitely want to dedicate this award to her, too, because she taught me how to be the woman that I am today,” she said. “I do appreciate the recognition and the accolades, but I definitely take much greater pride in knowing that I used my voice and resources to put smiles on people’s faces and make a meaningful difference in Houston."

Congrats, Megan.
