["I want to start by saying thank you very much for just how gracious you've all been in welcoming my husband and I to this country... my country."]

In a resounding display of solidarity and empowerment, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, alongside esteemed economist Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, graced a prestigious Women in Leadership event held on Saturday evening, May 11, in Nigeria.

The summit, moderated by the illustrious Mo Abudu, drew a distinguished crowd of female industry leaders from various sectors across Nigeria, converging to celebrate and discuss the pivotal role of women in leadership.

Expressing her gratitude for the warm reception extended to her and Prince Harry upon their arrival in Nigeria, Meghan remarked, "I want to start by saying thank you very much for just how gracious you've all been in welcoming my husband and I to this country... my country."

In a moment of candid reflection, the Duchess shared her journey of self-discovery, spurred by the revelation of her Nigerian ancestry. "Being African-American, part of it is really not knowing so much about your lineage or background, where you come from specifically," she disclosed. "And it was exciting for both of us to discover more and understand what that really means."

Meghan, visibly moved by the revelation, emphasized the significance of embracing one's heritage. "Never in a million years would I have understood it as much as I do now," she mused. "It's been really eye-opening and humbling to be able to know more about my heritage and to be able to know this is just the beginning of that discovery."

The event served as a beacon of inspiration, igniting conversations on the imperative of diversity, inclusion, and the invaluable contributions of women in shaping global leadership narratives. As Meghan Markle and Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala stand shoulder to shoulder in championing these causes, their collective endeavor echoes a clarion call for progress and empowerment on the global stage.
