SPECIAL: Cassandra Rae and Rachael Amesbury on Meghan Markle and the Temptation Myth of Women in the Public Eye.

Cassandra Rae Pittman

It feels like the entire world is talking about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, whether they watched the Oprah interview or not, and while I'm not one for royal gossip, I am interested in what it can tell us about discussions of power and the ways in which women in the public eye are portrayed for trying to do things differently. In watching the media coverage, it was the same age old stories being told: It was Meghan who was the 'temptress,' it was Meghan who took Harry away from his family, and quite frankly a lot of other incredibly sexist comments. It was incredibly tiring, and I couldn't help but feel like if we are interested in promoting a more inclusive and caring form of power, this was a teachable moment. Joining me to dissect the rabbit hole that is the British Royal Family is one of my previous guests, Comedian and Copywriter Rachael Amesbury, back by popular demand and because even when discussing serious topics, we  still need the occasional laugh. 

Real, relatable, or downright wrong? We want to know!
