You are standing up and demanding to be heard, but you’re also demanding to own the conversation.”
Meghan kept in mind that their generation is “often referred to as digital natives” and motivated the girls viewing to unite to harness the power of the digital world for modification. “You understand that our online world has the power to affirm and support as much as it does to harm.

TheDuchess likewise apparently described her own individual experiences when prompting girls to follow their impulses. “Continue to believe in yourselves, believe in what makes you unique, and don’t be afraid to do what you know is right even when it’s not popular. Even when it’s never been done before. Even if it scares people. Even if it scares you,” she stated.
As she concluded the speech, Meghan acknowledged that it’s “easy to get overwhelmed” with the all of the problems presently dealing with the world however she provided this recommendations: “Be where you are in the moment.
