  1. This video is a report on Meghan Markle and how she reacts with her critics.
    To begin with, she speaks about the speech she gave to react as racial tensions which has been very criticised. But she affirms that people have wrong interpretation of it because what she really said is not controversial and she was authentic.
    The interpretation of the public was heart-breaking so she understands that it’s necessary to focus on her goal and not listen the noise around.
    Thus, she highlights the fact that “the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing” so we have to react.
    Finally, she explains that in her speeches she uses her own words, without any help so it doesn’t feel perfect but that is also why it’s authentic.

  2. This video features Meghan Markle in an interview in which she answers to the many criticisms against her.
    First, she speaks on the video she made in June when racial tensions were at their highest.
    She seeks to contradict the bad opinions on this speech, which was judged in the wrong way because, as she says, she sought to be her and says what she really think about the situation.
    She has been touched by the public's interpretation but wants to show how important it was for her to share what she felt.
    In her speech she says a sentence that seems important to me to remember "the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing" I think through this sentence she seeks to show that it is important not to be afraid to say what we think in the simplest and most sincere way.

    This video is an interview of Meghan Markle and a journalist where she answers to the critics she received after her speach about racism.
    To her mind, it's about being authentic. The people interpretation made it controversial, but if we watch back what she said, there was nothing controversial.
    She didn't know what to say because she wanted to be sure to say the right things. But the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing.
    George Floyd and Brianna Taylor lives matter, and many other people whose names we don't know too. It doesn't look polish, authentic and perfect but you have to stop listening all the noise out there and learn to live with authenticity and truth.
    She didn't seat down and wrote something and she didn't ask for help about how she should write it and worth it. She was in tears thinking how she had to worth it and talked to her husband about it. At the end, she spoke with her heart.
    Always remember, you have to put others' needs above your own fears.
