She even wrote a song about it, “Favorite Child,” a raw, haunting reflection of what it feels like to grow up unseen, unheard, and unchosen.Her music lets you feel the childhood she had to survive.Rah met Meghan at the Post‑GRAMMYs, where she had just come from the GRAMMY Awards — a moment that symbolized not just success, but resilience.
