Previously, Megan and her “WAP” collaborator Cardi B teamed up with Cash App and Twitter following their song’s historic No. 1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 in August to give away $1 million as a way to honor women during the viral conversation about female empowerment following the song’s release. In October, Megan also launched a Don’t Stop Scholarship Fund specifically for women of color pursuing their degree around the time of her single release of the same name featuring Young Thug.
The Grammy-nominated artist clarified to one inquiring Twitter user that her Women on Top fund differed from her Don’t Stop Scholarship fund. She also announced that the YWCA Houston in her hometown (that she recently agreed to help rebuild following the Texas winter freeze) was the first $25,000 recipient of the new fund.
“At Fashion Nova, women empowerment and ongoing advocacy for diversity and inclusion have always been part of our guiding principles,” said Fashion Nova CEO/founder Richard Saghian. “We believe the world will be a better place when all women are provided the opportunity to maximize their potential. This program was created to give women greater advantage as they pursue their passions.”
The Women on Top initiative is part of Fashion Nova’s ongoing pledge to support awareness campaigns committed to fighting racial inequality.
