We absolutely love awards and festival season. We love it because we get so much news and we get to hear from people that we may not always hear from. There is definitely one person that we enjoy hearing from and that is The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle.
Say whatever you want about Markle, we admire her. We admire her love for philantrophy, her heart, her motivation to make the world a better place. She’s never one to give up, even when the world is tearing her down at every turn.
She says the things that we need to hear. It may be things that we know and aren’t willing to realize half of the time, but sometimes hearing them from her, makes it make more sense. It’s because of the way that she eloquently brings things to life and the way that she articulates them.
But also because she genuinely wants to make the world a better place.
The Duchess talked about social media and how it is having a negative effect on women.
“The toxicity that comes at you, yes, social media is an environment that has a lot of that,” Meghan said. “But we also created these habits — what I find to be the most distributing is how much of the hate are women spewing that to other women. I can’t make sense of that.”
She continued, “Reading something terrible about a woman, why are you sharing it with your friends? That’s the piece that’s so lost right now. We’ve forgotten about our humanity.”
