Megan Thee Stallion has partnered with apparel retail company Fashion Nova to donate $100,000 to the Breonna Taylor Foundation on the first anniversary of her death.
Megan posted on Instagram, saying the core mission of the foundation is to support economic, social and racial justice through police reform: “A year ago today Breonna Taylor was tragically taken from her family and friends. Breonna’s name continues to be a catalyst for change and a powerful reminder that justice has still not been served. Fashion Nova and I are proud to give $100,000 to the @breonnataylorfoundation created by @tamikalpalmer to honor the memory of her daughter.”
Taylor was 26 when she was fatally shot in a botched police raid on her apartment on March 13, 2020. Her killing led to protests across the nation demanding the officers involved in the shooting be held accountable, and her case became part of a larger racial reckoning movement that intensified after George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, died in police custody in May.
