Breaking it down. Meghan Markle addressed the stereotype of the “angry Black woman” during the latest of her “Archetypes” podcast.The Duchess of Sussex, 41, discussed the topic with guest stars Issa Rae and Ziwe, both of whom discussed the ways the stereotype had affected them in their professional lives.

[It] makes you clear.”The California native didn’t specifically mention her life in the royal family, but in previous episodes of “Archetypes,” she detailed the backlash she faced when she questioned certain decisions.
