According to Complex, Big Glo dropped by her Alma Mater Melrose High School in Memphis with her purse open for the kids. Glo presented the staff with a $25k check for educational resources.
“I always wished somebody could do that when I was going to school and so the fact that I have the ability to do it now, it just—it warms my heart,” Glo added, per WREG News Channel 3.
The school also had a gift for GloRilla following her generous contribution revealing the money would help create a new library space. Melrose High shared that the library will be called the “Gloria H. Woods Media Center” named after the rapper. The media library was described as a collaborative learning environment to promote literacy in Orange Mound and surrounding communities.
The “Gloria H. Woods media Center” is expected to be completed and unveiled this upcoming summer.
