The Duchess was honest with the American tennis player Serena Williams, her first guest on this project that will dissect “the stereotypes that condition women’s lives.”
“We will talk about the words we use to refer to women, the language that educates our daughters and how the media reflects us,” says Markle during the trailer for this podcast that will feature a new chapter every week.
Historians and experts will complete the conversations between the Duchess of Sussex and successful women from different fields to discover the origin of female stereotypes and how they “shape the narratives of our culture”.
