In addition to being one of the most successful young rappers from Houston, Megan has done a signifigant amount of work to help out those in need from her hometown. In 2021, she launched the Hotties Helping Houston fundraiser which assisted Texas after the infamous winter storm that resulted in state-wide power outages.
“Individuals who receive the key are responsible of upholding Houston’s values and represent the best this city offers. In fact, the key is our commitment to those who represent Houston at its best,” Turner said.
