Royal Unicorns

“We Out,” -Meghan and Harry

4 years ago

In this episode we highlight the royal unicorn, Meghan Markle.

What do two female podcasters from American have in common with the former Duchess of Sussex -- we are both Biracial Unicorns. This week we chat about Meghan and Harry’s step-down from their royal titles but what we REALLY focus on is Markle’s experience as a mixed-race woman. We see in interviews (we have linked the Elle Magazine interview below) that mixed-race people vary in their life experience, but we all seem to still have a core connection. For example, Markle address issues of ambiguousness, having to “pick a side”, and answering the favorite question, “what are you?”

Throughout the episode we also briefly discuss mixed-race marriage and the complexities of a mixed-race family. This leads us to discuss on the topic of traditions and America’s obsession with the royal family. We also give some tiny props to Harry!

This week we get Mad at The Internet and we’re calling out Barnes Noble?!?! Say it’s not so!

As always, we end with our Happy Place, hint* we talk about “catwalks” and cottages -- we know you’re interested.
