Does setting boundaries, having an opinion and being clear make you angry… or human? This is the central question asked by MeghanMarkle in the latest episode of her Spotify podcast Archetypes, released yesterday (25 October).
The actor replies: “Absolutely not. Because I can’t lose my cool, I can’t do that, especially as a Black woman, but also just even as a public figure now. Because people are looking for ways to justify their perception of you. That doesn’t mean I don’t get angry. That might mean that I will vent my frustrations to someone that I trust, get it out of my system and then go into fix mode.
“And I think even personality wise, I’m always like, I don’t want to sit in my anger too long anyway because what does that do? I want to work on fixing something, but I want to be allowed to have that emotion because it’s natural… like, it’s an emotion.”Discussing the limitations of Black female roles in the early 2000s entertainment industry, Rae identifies the damaging “caricatures” of the “ruthless Black woman” or “uncouth Black woman”.
“Usually, when I’m talking to an interviewer, the first thing that they say to me is, ‘I’m terrified of you,’” she remarked. “I’m like, oh my God, that hurts my feelings. I’m a sensitive Pisces. Like, I don’t want you to be scared of me. That’s not my goal.
