Sitting down with Loud Black Girl Phoebe Parke on the "Meghan Markle effect" and the changing face of the Royal Family

Written By Nicole Ocran

The one where we walk a day in Meghan’s shoes

Emma and Nicole are joined by Grazia social media editor and journalist Phoebe Parke, who penned the essay in Loud Black Girls, “The Meghan Markle Effect Made Mixed Race Identity A Hot Topic - But Are We Any Further Forward?” We unpack Meghan Markle’s treatment in the media, and the media’s fascination and disdain for her in equal measure. We also talk about the work Meghan and Harry are doing around raising awareness of structural racism and racial bias.
