I'm 40 and just COMPLETED my Data Science Post Grad Program certification at UT Austin while working 60 hours a week - and I was super inspired by Megan Thee Stallion the entire time!

Love watching her interviews! Her energy, confidence, passion and authenticity will always make her stand out. This is definitely one of the best Megan Thee Stallion interviews thus far! Great questions! 🐎🐎🐎

[@Inga377]

I concur!♥️

[@roxy299]

The interviewer is kind of annoying at numerous points in the conversation but Megan gives such good and thoughtful answers. She’s a great public speaker that is committed to engage with the audience & meet people where they’re at!

[@TikTokForest]

Yeah. He doesn't get why wealth is important past capitalism.

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

It's important to have an interviewer that either adapts to everyone or who complements the person they're interviewing.

[@paula_hi]

@@TikTokForest yes and he wanted to make the mental health topic a business, like you can also do it just because you care 😂

Congrats Megan! Your mom has to be so proud of you right now! Much love...u got it girl!

[@bocastannn2733]

Her story of seeing her mom take on so many different roles and being raised mostly by women resonated with me so much. It’s the women in my life (including Megan ofc) that reassure me that I can do whatever I put my mind to and motivate me to keep fighting when times get hard ❤

[@loversland03]

A true role model! My girl 💜

If this is your role mode society has failed you bad smh

It is very touching hearing her talk about her mother. Growing up in the hood raising her and giving her a respectable life. Being her inspiration.

This was such an amazing experience. She is so real, so sweet and so authentic. She is also human and to know that she is focused on her happiness and what makes her happy spit the negative Nancy’s and harsh critics that takes strength and peace. She was already someone I loved but the fact she shouted my book out “Love Notes To My Soul” genuinely and multiple times made me fall in love more with her character and heart. As Megan said go now and get your copy of LOVE NOTES TO MY SOUL by LaCree Taylor it is a must read for daily empowerment and motivation. Keep growing Megan we love you ❤️

[@curtislamarh]

Yessssss 😂❤🎉 😢I absolutely love it when SHE SHINES. Since The moment I-laid eyes on her I was an immediate super fan and I knew I would love her as a human being….she one rapper that in all the years that I have been Living I’ve never been taken away by a Rapper the way she has…

Attention Hotties and Megan Respecters: Do not respond to or attack any weirdos in at least this comment section because as Megan has explained at 28:10 only people doing it big and bold get hate. Accept for evil criminals and terribly immoral people on the internet who think they doing something of course. Report for bullying to teach them a lesson.

Why would they need to disrupt the conversation with more noise? It’s not a concert. Maybe they understand socially appropriate conduct and are being respectful (the appropriate response)
