More podcast episodes Archetypes of Meghan Markle parade, the more we learn about the Duchess of Sussex! And this was again the case on October 25. When recording the episode Upending The Angry Black Women Myth (Breaking the myth of angry black women), the ex-actress, with African-American origins on the side of her mother Doria Ragland, received the actresses Issa Rae and Ziwe Fumudo. Meetings that allowed him to open up a little more about the exactness of the crossbreeding inherited from his mother.
“Few years ago“, Meghan Markle admitted having used a genealogical test and delivered the results. These revealed that Meghan Markle was 43% Nigerian. Since then, the mother of Archie (3 years old) and Lilibert (1 year old) is determined to find out more, to know her own story but also to be able to tell it to her two children: “I’m going to start digging into all of this.” As an accomplished feminist, Meghan Markle will go to the end of her research.
Managing this podcast is a way for Meghan Markle to control her secrets. And the 41-year-old duchess has been multiplying them since she was at the helm of her own show. She notably said that as a teenager, she had experienced a very uncomfortable scene in a spa with her mother and that her job on the show Deal or no Deal had been nothing more than a humiliating post for which she was treated like a bimbo.
These confessions had also earned him the wrath of Whoopi Goldberg and a small clarification from Claudia Jordan, one of the women who worked alongside him on the set at the time: “They NEVER treated us like bimbos. We had so many opportunities because of this show. […] God knows how much I’ve defended this woman for years. I will continue to do so but I don’t want there to be any misunderstanding about the atmosphere that reigned on the set and in the show in general. And I absolutely want to protect Howie Mandel [le présentateur à l’époque, ndlr] who has always been kind and respectful to all of us.” Remarks to which Meghan refrained from any reaction
