International superstar Megan Thee Stallion has made herself known as Megan Thee Philanthropist after launching her very own foundation honoring her parents. The foundation, dedicated to her father, Joseph Pete Jr., and her mother, Holly Thomas, was announced on her 27th birthday on Tuesday.

According to the Pete and Thomas Foundation website, the foundation’s mission is to “catalyze resources to effect meaningful and positive change in the lives of women and children, senior citizens, and underserved communities in Houston, TX and across the globe.” Its three areas of focus are education, housing, and health and wellness.

“Launching the Pete and Thomas Foundation is easily one of the most significant endeavors that I’ll ever be part of in my career,” said Megan in a statement with Complex. “My family raised me to help others and give back, so I’m incredibly proud to be in a position to accomplish that goal. I have a responsibility to use my platform to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who may not have access to resources and support services.” 

In a Twitter post she added, “I really wanted to make my mom proud, I really wanted to make my grandma proud. I wanted to make myself proud. You know, how can I help something, like what can I do to make a change?”

The foundation’s three areas of focus:

Education: The foundation will provide scholarships, school supplies, and resources to support students in high need communities.

Housing: The foundation will look to address housing issues for senior citizens, single mothers and families impacted by financial emergencies and natural disasters.

Health and Wellness: The foundation will support the areas of cancer care, mental health, and food insecurity.

We love to see Houston Hotties making a difference in the world. Keep up the good work!
