STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Megan Thee Stallion describes herself in a song as savage with a nasty attitude, from the hood, but also classy. And she's now also a college graduate. She walked across the stage this weekend at Texas Southern University, receiving a bachelor's degree in health administration. She says she wanted to complete her education to honor her late mother and grandmother. After the ceremony, she posted the hashtag #MeganTheeGraduate. It's MORNING EDITION.
