"Cake and conversation with one of my heroes after the show today. Thank you @whoopigoldberg for everything you have done and continue to do for all of us."
"Excited for the chance to hopefully come back and talk further with you and the rest of the women soon. @theviewabc," she concludes.

Initially overwhelmed with by all of her birthday surprises Meghan insisted that she didn't want any more gifts. However, her guests couldn't keep their gifts to themselves, Monét pulled out and pair of glittery pink cowboy boots and says:
"So we went over to the baby gap because you have tiny feet and we got you these…aren't they so cute?"
"We thought it would only be appropriate if we made you an official Ru girl and gave your own [trophy]," Nina adds.
For Pride month, in June, Nina, Monét, and Adore Delano sat down with McCain to discuss LGBTQ+ issues. The girls mentioned that they returned to the show to celebrate Meghan's birthday in honor of how much she has inspired and supported them.
