The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has been a subject of controversy ever since she stepped into royal life. Be it the royal experts or unnamed family members, at this point, disputes have become synonymous with the Duchess. However, as always the architect of her fate, the Duchess has decided to turn her grievances into empowerment, not only for her but for hundreds of those in need. 

Refusing to be defined by controversies, Markle has channeled the attention into an opportunity to voice out against societal evils inspiring coming-of-age generations to follow her steps. 

According to Vanity Fair, Meghan Markle recently visited Girls Inc. in Santa Barbara, California, to address bullying's impact on young girls. During an interactive session, Markle shared a poignant insight, which was further reiterated by the founder of #HalfTheStory, Larissa May. “Meghan talked about being one of the most bullied people in the world,” said May. The candid remark sparked meaningful conversations with the teenage attendees.

She further witnessed Meghan Markle’s engagement with the girls. May recounted to the outlet that the Duchess facilitated discussions on various scenarios, fostering empathy and understanding. As shared by the founder, Markle's willingness to reveal her experiences created a safe space for the girls to open up about their struggles, underscoring the importance of support and solidarity.

But what led the Duchess to take part in the initiative? Does it hint towards a potential partnership?

On the occasion of International Day of the Girl on October 11, Archewell Foundation, Girls Inc., Pivotal Ventures, and Oprah Winfrey's Charitable Foundation joined hands to launch Social Media U. Known as an anti-bullying program, it aims to empower girls to navigate social media safely. The initiative is to provide essential tools for girls to thrive in the digital age, fostering healthier relationships with technology.

Middle-school girls tested Social Media U's initiative with Meghan Markle's guidance, while the authorities present were all praises for the Duchess as she helped young girls develop critical skills. The program's educational focus will equip girls to combat online bullying, promoting digital literacy and confidence. By joining forces, these organizations can further aim to create a safer online environment for young girls.
