Meghan has made it a tradition to commemorate International Women's Day in some form or another each year.
In 2024, The Duchess of Sussex joined a SXSW panel called "Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen." During the panel discussion, Meghan shared that she wrote to the company Procter & Gamble when she was just 11 years old to address the fact that they only advertised dishwashing soap to women.
The year prior, Meghan and members of her organization, the Archewell Foundation, attended a Los Angeles fundraising event for Harvest Home, which helps provide housing, mental well-being support and classes to expectant mothers who have faced challenges such as domestic violence, substance use and homelessness.
The Archewell Foundation posted photos from the event to its website, with the message: "Happy International Women's day to all of you! Whether donating your time, funds or helping a woman in your community, let's all celebrate the women in our lives today and every day!"

The Archewell Foundation also previously joined forces with Moms First and the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media to fund a study about the representation of mothers in entertainment, according to Vanity Fair.
"My past experience as an actress, and now today as a producer and mother, have amplified my belief in the critical importance of supporting women and moms both behind the lens and in front of it," Meghan said in a statement at the time, according to the outlet. "This report about the portrayal of mothers in entertainment highlights the gaps we need to fill to achieve true representation in the content we create and consume, and I'm honored to support this work through the Archewell Foundation.'

Brad Pitt Insisting Ex Angelina Jolie ‘Get a Better Grip' on Their Big Brood
Angelina Jolie's son Pax looked worse for wear during a recent night out with friends in L.A. On May 31, the 21-year-old was photographed being propped up by his pals as the rowdy crew made their way from celebrity hotspot Chateau Marmont to a strip club on Hollywood's notorious Sunset Strip, where they partied until the wee hours. At one point, Pax looked as if he could barely stand as he clung to two members of his group, wavering on a street corner. The Oscar winner's middle son is getting a rep for reckless behavior. At least twice he's crashed his e-bike while speeding along L.A.'s busy streets — without a helmet — needing to be hospitalized after a collision last July. (An insider tells Star, 'a lot of people have told him it's lunacy, that he must have some type of death wish to be so negligent.') For Angelina, it's a conundrum. 'Like any parent, she worries that Pax will fall into the wrong crowd or drink too much,' says the source. Yet the 50-year-old, a former wild child herself, has always prided herself on being a supportive but hands-off mother to Pax and his five siblings (she and ex-husband Brad Pitt share Maddox, 23, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox). Now the source says Brad fears his ex is losing control of their big brood — revealing another bone of contention in their bitter split. 'He's insisting Angelina get a better grip,' says the source. 'But she isn't going to listen to him and his concerns.' Angelina doesn't feel like she has much of a leg to stand on when it comes to reining the kids in — she was no stranger to trouble as a young adult. In a November 2011 interview with 60 Minutes, Angelina opened up about going through 'heavy, darker times' in her life. 'Angelina used to restrict Pax when he was younger but now that he's 21, there's not much she can do,' says the source. 'Besides, she did plenty worse than he did when she was his age, so she's wary of coming across like a hypocrite.' She also brought up the children to be free spirits. They spent their formative years traveling the globe. In 2021, the Maria star — who once said she'd rather they focus on outdoor adventures than homework — revealed to E! News' Daily Pop that she was scared of parent-teacher conferences. 'I have a problem with schools because I was always in trouble in school,' she admitted. 'I have PTSD.' When it comes to Pax, there's not much Brad can do. Adopted from Vietnam, Pax spent his early years in an orphanage before Brad and Angelina brought him home in 2007. Among all of the kids, he's been the most vocal about siding with his mom in the couple's nasty, years-long divorce and custody battle. (The family unraveled after a 2016 incident on a private plane. Angelina accused a drunken Brad of attacking her; now sober, Brad has denied all allegations.) In 2020, he reportedly slammed Brad in a since-deleted Instagram post, calling him 'world class a**hole.' The source says the 61-year-old 'still loves him dearly' and believes the children 'have been given way too much freedom way too soon,' by their mom. (Until age 18, he still has legal access to the twins.) In another blow to the F1 actor, Shiloh, one of several of the kids who have dropped 'Pitt' from their name, has further altered her moniker. The teen debuted her new name, 'Shi Joli,' in a press release about a dance she choreographed for an Isabel Marant/Net-A-Porter fashion show May 29. According to the source, Shiloh 'is still trying to find herself. Growing up in the spotlight was tough on her and she found her parents' divorce traumatic.' Angelina is taking a backseat approach for now and hoping the kids find their way eventually. Zahara is off at Spelman College ('she's very keen to spread her wings and travel,' says the source) while Maddox (who Angelina described as 'smart … but also wild' in 2019) lives in Angelina's Manhattan apartment (she said in March all the children use it as a 'crash pad'). 'Angelina is happy for them all to try new things and thinks it's healthy for them to experiment. She has zero doubt they'll go on to achieve great things in their lives.'

Harris Yulin, Emmy-Nominated Actor of ‘Scarface' and ‘Ozark,' Dies at 88
Harris Yulin, a prolific Emmy-nominated actor whose career spanned more than five decades across film, television, and stage, died Tuesday of cardiac arrest in New York City. He was 88. The character actor's many films include 'Scarface,' 'Clear and Present Danger, and 'Training Day.' He also played Buddy Dieker on the Netflix series 'Ozark' from 2017 to 2018. He guested on 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' and 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and was Emmy nominated in 1996 for a guest role on 'Frasier.' He made his film debut in 1970 in the black comedy 'End of the Road,' but landed his first featured role in Brian De Palma's 1983 'Scarface' as Mel Bernstein, a dirty narcotics cop. The actor was always memorable even in small parts, such as the New York judge in 'Ghostbusters II' who agrees to reverse murder charges for a pair of rampaging ghosts. Yulin was a well-respected theater actor, making New York debut in 1963 in 'Next Time I'll Sing to You' and first appeared on Broadway in the 1980s production of 'Watch on the Rhine.' He also starred in Broadway productions of 'The Diary of Anne Frank,' 'The Price,' and 'Hedda Gabler.' The actor was set to begin production on the MGM+ series 'American Classic,' opposite Kevin Kline and Laura Linney. Series co-creator Michael Hoffman told The Hollywood Reporter, 'Harris Yulin was very simply one of the greatest artists I have ever encountered.' Yulin was married to actress Gwen Welles Nashville from 1975 until her death in 1993 at age 42. He is survived by his second wife, actress Kristen Lowman, and his son-in-law Ted, nephew Martin and godchildren Marco and Lara.

Mom Thought Her Toddler Was Just Playing. Then Something Caught Her Eye (Exclusive)
One evening, Alex Moore was playing with her 23-month-old daughter, Addy They were being silly and listening to nursery rhymes when all of a sudden, Addy started dancing Alex watched as her daughter slid off the bed and began doing little high-kick stompsAlex Moore and her husband, Christian, both work full-time. So after wrapping up their workdays and picking up their daughter from daycare, the North Carolina-based couple likes to wind down by laying in bed to decompress. One evening, Christian went to make dinner while Alex stayed back to play with their 23-month-old daughter, Addy. They were being silly and listening to nursery rhymes when all of a sudden, Addy started dancing. Alex watched as her daughter slid off the bed and began doing little high-kick stomps. "I had no idea what she was doing until she said 'cha cha??' " Alex, 31, tells PEOPLE exclusively. Alex goes on to explain that her daughter learned the "Cha-Cha Slide" by DJ Casper at daycare. She says her teacher, Ms. Mikaila, plays the song often and has been teaching the kids the steps. Although Ms. Mikaila had previously sent Alex videos of Addy dancing along to the "Cha-Cha Slide" at daycare, this was the first time she had seen her daughter perform some of the correct steps in person — especially the stomping and the 'hands on your knees' move. "She was walking around stomping her feet with almost a high-kick fashion, and I kept giggling because I'd never seen her stomp like that before," Alex, a aesthetics technician, says. In the moment, Alex pulled out her phone and recorded the sweet scene. Later, she decided to post it to TikTok, thinking, 'This is too good to not share with more people.' But then, the video quickly went viral, amassing more than 7.4 million views and 13,000 comments. "I knew she was demanding the cha cha slide at daycare' is in incredible statement in itself 😭," one user wrote. "and it is already knows her left and right ✅️❤️," someone else replied. Another person commented, "That's actually so impressive that she knows the cha cha slide at her age .. what an icon." Reading through the comments, Alex says she couldn't help but smile. "The kind of responses I've received from the video are the exact ones I was hoping," she says. " 'This made my day, thank you so much.' It was an added bonus to hear that my daughter could excel in a dance class, because what parent doesn't want to hear that their child has a knack for something?" "My daughter brings me so much joy every day, so I really loved that I could do that for other people," the mom adds. "Also hearing from other daycare employees that they'll start implementing the song into their classrooms for teaching directions, and dance teachers that she has amazing skills for her age — that feedback really stood out to me the most." Since her daughter is so young, Alex knows won't remember much from this time, but in teaching her about it in a few years, she hopes her daughter realizes that she made a lot of people smile when they felt like they couldn't. "Addy has taught me that children truly are like flowers: when they're given a loving environment, taught things with patience and in a fun way, they can blossom into the best versions of themselves," she says. "Along with truly being able to dance your little heart out when you feel it!" Read the original article on People
