Megan Thee Stallion is still saying her name: Breonna Taylor
Megan Thee Stallion joined forces with Fashion Nova Cares to honor Breonna Taylor on the 1-year anniversary of her death with a $100K donation to the foundation created in her honor.
The donation is apart of the Woman On Top initiative, which has a commitment to donate $1 million throughout the month of March to help support women-owned businesses, women-focused charities and organizations, and scholarships.
“I’m excited to collaborate with FashionNova Cares on the Women on Top initiative and be part of giving $1 million dollars to support women-led businesses and organizations,” said Megan. “These donations are life-changing and will help women of all ages get one step closer to making their dreams a reality.”
The Breonna Taylor Foundation was started by her mother, Tamika Palmer, who is constantly fighting for her daughter’s justice.
“A year ago today Breonna Taylor was tragically taken from her family and friends. Breonna’s name continue’s to be a catalyst for change and a powerful reminder that justice has still not been served,” Megan wrote on Instagram. “The core mission of the foundation is to support economic, social, and racial justice through police reform and government accountability. The foundation also seeks to help young people to realize their full potential, empowering them to participate in political processes and achieve better health, with mentorship programs for high-school girls, after-school initiatives, and educational support.”
This isn’t the first time the Head Hottie used her platform to support Breonna, who was one of the centerpieces of the nationwide protests in 2020.
The rapper made a bold statement during her Saturday Night Live debut in honor of Breonna after being a victim of gun violence herself.
Megan and her dances had their fists high in the air while the words “protect black women” appeared in the background. The “Savage” rapper made her own statement, “We have to protect our Black women and love our Black women because at the end of the day, we need our Black women. We need to protect our Black men and stand up for our Black men because at the end of the day, we tired of seeing hashtags of our Black men.”
