MEGAN THEE STALLION: (Rapping) So smooth, like the car I ride...

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Megan Thee Stallion describes herself in a song as savage with a nasty attitude, from the hood, but also classy. And she's now also a college graduate. She walked across the stage this weekend at Texas Southern University, receiving a bachelor's degree in health administration. She says she wanted to complete her education to honor her late mother and grandmother. After the ceremony, she posted the hashtag #MeganTheeGraduate. It's MORNING EDITION.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
