When you strip away the noise surrounding Meghan Markle's Netflix show "With Love Megan," what emerges is a powerful narrative about a woman reclaiming her identity after trauma. Before becoming a royal, Meghan had a lifestyle blog and philanthropic pursuits that she was forced to abandon. Now, freed from those constraints, she's returned to her authentic creative self—and it's beautiful to witness.

The vitriol directed at Meghan reveals something troubling about how society responds to Black women who refuse to stay in their "assigned" places. The cooking show, with its whimsical edible flowers and casual conversations, represents more than just lifestyle content—it's a declaration that she survived the racist attacks of British tabloids and emerged with her joy intact.

As someone who understands aspects of Meghan's experience as a light-skinned biracial woman, I see the subtle racism beneath complaints about "unrelatability." Yes, her Montecito garden and royal connections aren't everyday reality for most of us, but rejecting content solely because a Black woman dares to occupy traditionally white spaces says more about the critics than the content itself.

What we can learn from Meghan is resilience, authenticity, and the courage to define yourself rather than letting others define you. When she says "I'm gonna do it my way," it's a lesson for all of us struggling under expectations that dim our light. Her journey reminds us to rediscover what brings us joy and pursue it relentlessly, regardless of criticism.

Don't let haters determine your path. Whether you're preparing elaborate meals with edible flowers or pursuing other creative passions, the act of living authentically despite opposition is revolutionary. What would your life look like if you followed Meghan's example and refused to let others dictate your worth?
