The episode, which aired on Tuesday, largely focused on the stereotype of the “angry Black woman“.
Markle’s guests were Issa Rae, Emily Bernard, and Ziwe Fumodoh, a Nigerian American talk show host. They examined how the label continues to be a subject of conversation for many women of colour.
“Are you serious? This is huge. Igbo, Yoruba, do we know?” Ziwe asks.
