SPEAKING THE TRUTH

A young man named Aker Okoye immediately made his way out of his seat and toward the Duchess of Sussex up on stage.

Not long after the former actress welcomed him with an embrace, the student said before starting his discourse:

"She really is beautiful innit. I had to say that. I had to speak the truth here."

WOMEN OF OUR FUTURE

As the student embraced her and left the stage, Meghan said that Okoye did a good job, pointing out his extraordinary confidence.

Meanwhile, during her speech, the doting mother discussed the greatness of advocating for sexual orientation and racial equality, not just on days like International Women's Day, but consistently.

She said that when someone speculated about what she wanted to do for International Women's Day this year, for her, it was especially imperative to be with the women of our future.
