Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, recently visited the Southern California Welcome Project, a key program of the Archewell Foundation that she co-founded with Prince Harry. The Welcome Project, launched in 2023, aims to provide support and create a safe space for women who have recently resettled in the United States from Afghanistan. Inspired by her previous work with the Hubb Community Kitchen in the U.K., Meghan joined the Southern California Welcome Project for an evening of cooking and storytelling.
The event, in collaboration with The Archewell Foundation's partner organization, Mina's List, brought together a group of 15 women to cook traditional Afghan food, including dishes like Ashak and Mantuu. Following the cooking session, the women sat down to share their personal stories and discuss the support they find within this intergenerational group of women.
