Meghan joins refugees for traditional cooking
Meghan Markle recently joined a group of refugees to cook traditional Afghan recipes as part of the Southern California Welcome Project. The duchess donned an apron and engaged in heartwarming storytelling with 15 women who had fled from Afghanistan to the States.
Supporting vulnerable women in new communities
The collaboration between Meghan's The Welcome Project and Mina's List aims to provide support to vulnerable women who have recently resettled in the US from Afghanistan. The project, created by the Archewell Foundation and Mina's List, has helped resettle over 2,000 Afghan refugees in the US.
Creating bonds and opportunities for refugees
The Welcome Projects across the States offer various classes and activities to help refugees form bonds in their new communities. Meghan's involvement in the cooking project was inspired by her previous work at the Hubb Community Kitchen after the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy.
Backlash over rebranding and royal connections

Commitment to charitable work
Despite the controversy, Harry and Meghan remain committed to their mission of "Show Up, Do Good" through their charitable work and philanthropic endeavors. The Archewell Foundation, Archwell Productions, patronages, and ventures all receive the support of the couple.
