helped open the door for conversations about race and mental health, experts say.

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex attend the Cirque du Soleil Premiere Of "TOTEM" at Royal Albert Hall on Jan. 16, 2019 in London.according to early Nielsen data, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed psychologist and host of podcast Therapy for Black Girls, said Monday that she was particularly struck by the reaction from Black women. Meghan, whose father is white and whose mother is Black, shared moments that hit home for many women who have dealt with misogynoir, a term used to describe the intersection of sexism and anti-Black racism.

“There was something particularly resonant about the whole conversation around the worries around how dark the baby would be, because I think that is another conversation in the Black community, the idea of colorism,” Bradford said. “So the closer you are to white, the better you are treated, and I think that's what we saw highlighted.”
