Our #femmefriday this week is a woman who in the height of scruitiny has shown strength, bravery, humility and grace. She is a human rights activitst, feminist, writer, actress and all-round warrior woman 😍 Oh, and she just happens to be a Duchess too. That's right, you guessed it. This week's #femmefriday is Meghan Markle @sussexroyal 👏
Among all the other things, Meghan has just written an opinion piece for the @nytimes describing her experience of miscarriage, and encouraging people to show more empathy and have more tolerance towards others. She highlights the struggles we have all faced during 2020, and emphasies how important it is in these times to show a face of unity and compassion, rather than intolerance and divsion.
Her bravery in speaking up and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and miscarriage is awe-inspiring and we are so thankful for all that she has done, and continues to do for women all across the globe.
"Losing a child means carrying an almost unbareable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few... Despite the staggering commonality of this pain, the conversation remains taboo, riddled with (unwarranted) shame, and perpetuating a cycle of solitary mourning...As much as we may disagree, as physically distanced as we may be, the truth is that we are more connected than ever because of all we have individually and collectively endured this year." - Meghan Markle, The Duchess of Sussex.
