Meghan Markle is teaming up with some seriously powerful women for a good cause. The Duchess of Sussex will join Michelle Obama and Priyanka Chopra Jonas for the Girl Up Global Leadership Summit.
Meghan has a long history of advocating for gender equality and women’s interests. She famously found herself in activism at just 11 years old, when she challenged a sexist soap advertisement. In the years since, Meghan has spoken on the global stage about women’s issues a number of times.
Meghan also channeled her interest in female empowerment into her work as a royal. She created a cookbook with the women of the Hubb Community Kitchen to benefit their work. She released a capsule collection of workplace basics to benefit Smart Works, which helps prepare women for job interviews.
The virtual event will take place this weekend, from July 13 to 15. Some feel this is a big step forward for Meghan into the kind of work she’s always thrived on doing. Others feel this is Meghan getting back to her roots. Whatever the case, it will be interesting to see what she chooses to advise young women on at this transformative time in history.
