The Audacity of a Fruit Bowl: Joy, Microaggressions, and Meghan Sussex

Why did Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, making a fruit bowl become a media scandal? In this episode of Healing After Birth, Marcia and Nana unpack the odd outrage over Meghan’s new Netflix series—and what it reveals about society’s discomfort with women choosing peace and pleasure. The conversation also takes on toxic positivity in motherhood, the politics of grief, and how Black women are constantly told who they’re allowed to be. This episode is a layered, liberating reminder that choosing presence, beauty, and purpose—especially after birth—is not a privilege. It’s a birthright.
