GloRilla is giving back to her community in a meaningful way. During her visit to Melrose High School in Memphis, she donated $25,000 to fund the creation of the Gloria H. Woods Media Center, named after her real name. Reflecting on her journey, GloRilla shared, “To be able to create something I wished for growing up warms my heart.”
Her investment isn’t just financial—it’s a commitment to fostering education, creativity, and opportunities for future generations. For students, the news came as an early Christmas gift and a symbol of hope and inspiration.
GloRilla donated the sum of $25,000 to Melrose High School in Memphis on December 18. The funds will create the Gloria H. Woods Media Center, a state-of-the-art facility named after her real name. This donation supports projects like redesigning the library with modern seating and allergen-free carpets, upgrading learning software, and launching the GloRilla Mentorship Program, which includes field trips and video chats with the rapper.
Practical contributions include $2,500 for a clothes closet to help students in need and $2,500 for the Office of Family Engagement to strengthen community ties. The media center, set to open next summer, symbolizes opportunity for students, showcasing GloRilla as proof that dreams are achievable. The rapper, now a Grammy nominee, continues to inspire through her music and philanthropy.
