GloRilla will have a library named in her honor at a high school in Memphis after she donated $25,000 to enhance educational resources.
The hit-making rapper made the donation to Melrose High School in the Orange Mound neighborhood on Wednesday.
The donation will help Melrose build a new library to promote literacy at Melrose and in Orange Mound.
The school’s library will be renamed the Gloria H. Woods Media Center.
“I always wished somebody could do that when I was going to school, and so the fact that I get to do it now, it warms my heart,” she said Wednesday at the school.
Glo took to social media to announce the achievements.
“Bought my first piece of land in my city today along with giving back to my high school I graduated from & they named their media center after me God is good & life is great I’m so thankful,” she wrote.

This is not her first philanthropic gesture to Memphis schools.
In 2022, GloRilla donated $25,000 to Martin Luther King College Prep school in Frayser. The next year, she donated $20,000 to Westside Middle.
