Megan Thee Stallion stuns on the cover of Women’s Health Magazine.
In the corresponding article, Megan talks about how she overcame a lot of adversity in her career. “A lot of people didn’t treat me like I was human for a long time,” says Megan. “I feel like everybody was always used to me being the fun and happy party girl. I watched people build me up, tear me down, and be confused about their expectations of me. As a Black woman, as a darker Black woman, I also feel like people expect me to take the punches, take the beating, take the lashings, and handle it with grace. But I’m human.”
Through it all Megan has found much success in her music career- however, she still struggled mentally. “Before I went onstage, I would be crying half the time because I didn’t want to [perform], but I also didn’t want to upset my fans,” Megan says “I didn’t want to get [out] from under the covers,” she says during the WH interview. “I stayed in my room, I would not turn the lights on. I had blackout curtains. I didn’t want to see the sun. I knew I wasn’t myself. It took me a while to acknowledge that I was depressed. But once I started talking to a therapist, I was able to be truthful with myself.”
Megan found peace and healing in therapy, working out, and her music. “I’m proud to still be here,” she says. “I didn’t quit. I want to see myself grow and be better than I am right now. And I will. I know I will.”
