Megan Thee Stallion Speaks Out About Her Mental Health
MEGA
Megan Thee Stallion’s (real name: Megan Pete) new website isn’t her first public venture into mental health.
Last year she opened up about her mental health and revealed more about her personal experiences with taking care of herself, in an interview with Taraji P. Hensen for Hensen’s Facebook Live show, “Peace Of Mind With Taraji.”
Among the many topics in the interview, she discussed the despair she felt after losing both of her parents, and realizing she needed to find resources so she could get help.
“I’ve lost both my parents,” he said in the interview, “Now I’m like, ‘Oh my god, who am I talking to? What am I supposed to do?’ (per BuzzFeed)

He also declared how he believes “mental health is more important to me than ever, because I have more pressure on me than I used to…”
Megan Thee Stallion’s gregarious, extroverted nature made it difficult to realize that not everyone around her necessarily had the best intentions after her rise to fame, which she discussed in detail with Hensen.
“I’m a friendly person,” she went on to explain, “I don’t know if it’s the southern girl in me, but I’m a very outgoing person. I had to dial it back a little bit because sometimes … my mama always tells me ‘Girl, everybody’s not your friend’. And, I didn’t understand what that meant until I started living this life.”

The “Savage” singer also discussed the stigma against seeking therapy as a black woman.
“Black women, we always have to put on a mask like everything is fine. We’re usually the ones you lean on,” she continued in an interview per PopSugar. “We’re usually everyone’s therapists.”
Hensen also provides her own insight into the difficulties black people face when trying to find mental health resources.
“That’s the part that I think is missing when black people talk about mental health,” he began. “Because we think it’s very sterile, and usually doctors don’t look like us… but actually we need them the most.” (via PopSugar)
