Meghan Markle Accepts Ms. Foundation’s Woman of Vision Award: ‘I Am A Woman Who Remains Inspired And Driven By This Organization’

During Markle’s powerful acceptance speech, she shared how receiving the award was a full-circle moment because she’s always been a fan of Ms. magazine, even as a child.
“The magazines said ‘Ms.’ on them, and I remember them vividly because the pictures were different. There was a diversity that I hadn’t seen as often, both of color and of age and the names were different,” she told the crowd during her speech, according to Town & Country magazine. “There were congresswomen, there were astronauts. And the topics were different: from mothering to being a working mom to heavier topics such as domestic violence, the poverty line — unearthing its roots, where it comes from — and matters of equity.”
