How did Mariah Carey make an impact on other people's lives?
If you're speaking an impact to other people's lives and not the artistic, musical influence and legacy she has contributed to the world, basically hearing just one of her popular songs like Hero, We Belong Together, One Sweet Day etc, can simply touch you or has somewhat made an impact in your self.
The key point is Carey's song are intentionally written to be universal and what she likes to call "people could relate to". For example, "Hero" is an uplifting ballad about finding your inner strength in difficult times as she sings "when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong, then you finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you". Like for "One Sweet Day" or "Bye Bye" if you ever had lost somebody that you had loved,, simply this song is relatable and definitely can simply touch you in a small or big way. Same goes for most of her love songs.
Carey is also influenced by Gospel Music, examples are the inspirational Make It Happen, Fly Like A bird and I Wish You Well.
For her cultural impact and legacy, please refer to her legacy section on wikipedia.

Was Whitney Houston a vegetarian?
There is no evidence of it, although she did have some friends who were both vegans and vegetarians. She may have followed their practices at certain times, but she does not seem to have fully embraced either a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, even though some online sources have claimed she did.
"I went through every eating disorder you can have. A little bit of anorexia, a little bit of bulimia," she said, "I'm not totally okay now but I don't think any woman is."
