Meghan Markle is teaming up with Michelle Obama for the 2020 Girl Up Leadership Summit next week.

According to New Idea, Markle and Obama are working together because they are both advocates for gender equality and female empowerment.

The summit will be held virtually from July 13 to 15.

The Girl Up organization is a UN Foundation initiative that helps promote gender equality globally. Markle and Obama will serve as guest speakers, and they will talk about their personal experiences and show their support to the public.

Actress and activist Jameela Jamil, who worked with Markle last year for Vogue, will also serve as a resource speaker.

In the past, there have been rumors that Markle wants to be the next Obama. And she could be well on her way.

Earlier this year, Daily Mail claimed that Michelle and Barack Obama have been advising Markle and Prince Harry on what they should do next post-Megxit.

More specifically, the Obamas are allegedly advising the Sussexes on a potential book, speaking engagements, and more. And they are slowly coming to fruition.

Weeks ago, it was announced that Markle and Prince Harry’s memoir, Finding Freedom will be available starting August 11.

The Sussexes also signed with Harry Walker Agency as resource speakers. And they could reportedly generate a huge sum of money from their upcoming engagements. Barack is also one of the agency’s clients.

Meanwhile, Markle has been doing her part in addressing racism in the country and the entire world. Even before she became a member of the royal family, she already spoke openly about her struggles as a biracial woman.

In 2012, she appeared in the I Won’t Stand For Racism video for the charity Erase the Hate.

“I'm biracial. Most people can't tell what I'm mixed with, and so, much of my life has felt like being a fly on the wall. Some of the slurs I've heard, or the really offensive jokes, or the names, it's just hit me in a really strong way. And then a couple of years ago, I heard someone call my mom the N-word,” she said

In 2015, Markle wrote an article for Elle about how she heard other people throw racial slurs at her mom, Doria Ragland because of the color of her skin.

“We were leaving a concert and she wasn't pulling out of a parking space quickly enough for another driver," Meghan recalled. "My skin rushed with heat as I looked to my mom. Her eyes welling with hateful tears, I could only breathe out a whisper of words, so hushed they were barely audible: 'It's OK, Mommy,’” she said.
