Megan Thee Stallion is being recognized not just for her music but for her powerful advocacy. The bisexual, Grammy-winning rapper has been named this year’s recipient of The Trevor Project’s Mental Health Champion Award, honoring influential figures who use their platforms to uplift LGBTQ young people. Known for her bold anthems of empowerment, Megan has also been open about her own struggles.
Her songs “Anxiety” and “Cobra” explore grief, depression, and the pressure of fame. Beyond music, she founded the Pete & Thomas Foundation, helping underserved communities through education, housing, and health initiatives, and launched BadBitchesHaveBadDaysToo.com, a mental health hub with queer helplines, including The Trevor Project’s.
Megan said, “I’m honored to receive this year’s Mental Health Champion award…My goal has always been to use my platform to help break stigmas around mental health and provide resources for those seeking safe spaces… Mental health impacts all of us, so it’s important to lead with love and empathy.”
Trevor Project CEO Jaymes Black praised her raw honesty and deep love for her community, saying, “Megan’s voice is not just powerful. It’s essential.” The award comes as the organization highlights the loss of critical federal support for LGBTQ+ youth crisis services.
