The analysis astutely exposes the racialized double standards in media framing, where Black female solidarity is pathologized as a "plot" rather than recognized as mentorship. It is a necessary critique of how systemic bias continues to shape the narrative of professional power and influence.

Oprah, Shonda Rhimes, Mellody Hobson and Nicole Avant are protecting Meghan so she will NOT fail.Added:
So, as you might know, yesterday the Daily Mail wrote a overly long piece.
Um, and I believe what they've been doing is literally looking through a lot of our articles, a lot of our videos, etc., as in I'm talking about the Sussex Squad here, and they've been looking at our Twitters, etc., etc., and they've decided to cobble a piece together, um, mainly about Megan as usual. And it's a piece that is contradictory because what they're saying is Megan is simultaneously rich as well as poor. She is failing but she is successful and she is failing but on the other hand she has these four women at the as her kind of like four musketeers who are determined that she will not fail. So how can she be failing and not failing at the same time? I do not know. But what I wanted to do was break this down into a number of parts. I've done a part about the memoir that Megan has even said she's not even in that space yet. And yet insiders are briefing that she will likely write a memoir. And I've said bring it on. I want to read everything.
And I mean, Megan, girl, everything.
Unless you do a part one and part two, then fine, but I want everything.
So this particular video I want to focus on the four women that have been named as part of Megan's powerful inner circle and the women who will not let her fail.
So let's go. So the first one is Oprah Winfrey. Of course she's their neighbor.
Yes. And she is one of the most significant cultural figures in American history. And she built an entertainment empire from nothing in an industry that was not designed for her. And she lives minutes away from Megan in Monteito. And she sends fruit from her garden to Archie and Lily at Christmas, Easter, and birthdays. And she encouraged Harry and Megan apparently to attend the Chris Jenner's birthday party because she understood the value of being present in certain social places. of course. And the male presents Oprah as uh sending fruit to children as evidence of a carefully and coordinated power ecosystem. I think that sometimes the Daily Mail, they give Megan so much power.
They give her more power than she probably has because all this just because Oprah is their neighbor who sends them fruit. Do they have a relationship with Oprah? Of course they do. But remember, this was the same Daily Mail who told us that Oprah had cut off Megan. Yes. That Oprah was no longer speaking to Megan and all of a sudden Oprah is part of a power um for musketeer power thing. Make it make sense. But anyway, that is Oprah described, you know, um and everyone is quaking in their boots and rightly so.
The second person is Melody Hobson. Now, she is the one they need to be panicking about cuz that woman is powerful and she got money and she knows money. That woman is a whiz when it comes to figures. So, Melody Hopson is the CEO of Ariel Investments and she is the former chair of Starbucks. Yes, that's Starbucks. And she is married to George Lucas. Yes, Jud Lucas, the man who did the Star Wars franchise, etc., etc. Yes, that's who she married.
But anyway, all I can say is Melody Hobson is one of the most significant black business women in America.
She has counseledled um apparently according to the piece she has counseledled Megan on business ownership, intellectual property, and long-term content control. And a source says that she doesn't just give her time to just anyone and that she lends credibility to anyone she associates with. Uh duh. Ministry of stating the freaking obvious. Of course she does. If Melody as much as I don't know waved at me, I'll be a millionaire. Seriously, if Melody as much as even said hello, if I even, let's put it this way, if I found myself in the same postcode as Melody, that is significant enough. Talk less of being in the same room. Talk less of having access to her.
That is networking beyond anything. So yes, they need to be scared that Melody is in Megan's corner because they made the mistake of thinking Megan wanted A-list Hollywood people to be in her corner.
But they don't even understand that is not where the money resides. The money resides with people who invest in the films who determine what we get to see coming out of Hollywood. Not the actors, the actresses. While actors and actresses are powerful in their own right and while some of them are producers are directors etc etc and they are extremely talented.
We need to go to where the money resides. Where the money resides. where the money resides and the money resides with people like Melody. Yes. So anyway, um the male is presenting this men mentorship of Melody giving uh uh Megan mentorship. The male is presenting that as part of a secret plot.
part of a se as in I yeah I can't I can't so Megan being mentored by an incredibly talented powerful amazing woman is now a secret plot a secret plot to do what like seriously I think what's upsetting them is that they're realizing they're gradually I don't think the penny has dropped yet they're gradually beginning to realize that actually maybe there is life outside of the royal family Maybe the royal family is not the end all or be all that we think it is. But anyway, that's Melody Hobson. Let's now move on to Shondaanda Rimes. Yes, Shondaanda, as you know, a fan favorite. I love that woman. I think she's incredibly talented. I love her story. And I love that she wouldn't take from anyone. She told Disney to suck it because a midle I wouldn't even say mid-level some random executive that you will never hear his name ever as in he's going to be in middle management forever. She told her I mean he told her cuz she requested I think a single ticket. I think she wanted an extra ticket for her nanny or something and he told her well we've already given you two tickets. Isn't that enough?
The woman who single-handedly has Thursday nights in the palm of her hand, as in Thursday nights, TV shows, bringing in more eyeballs to your organization, bringing in serious money to your organization. And she requested one little ticket as a perk, as a normal perk that other members of staff enjoy.
Some people get more tickets, way more tickets than her. She just wanted one extra ticket and you had you felt you had the right. And of course it's the kind of man you think it is. Yeah. It is who it is. Um and it was someone who didn't look like her. Yeah. So, and she probably sat there thinking if after everything I am freaking doing this platform, they're still treating me like this. H I think it's time to move.
deuces. So, she moved. But anyway, apparently the creator of Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, and Bridgetton, and one of the architects of Netflix content dominance is also part of this group. And her relationship with Megan matters in terms of positioning in the entertainment ecosystem. And the male presents this as professional adjacency to a clandestine network. Yes, it's the language for me. I keep telling you guys about the language. It's what you know, it's the way they literally will pluck things out of air, put them together, and it doesn't even make sense. If Megan is friends with Shondaanda Rimes, amazing.
If I Let me put it this way. I dream of these, you know, other people dream of meeting stars or whatever. I dream of meeting these sorts of powerful women.
These are the sorts of cuz you know when when they tell you to do um a fantasy dinner party, mine was going to be all women and these are my women. These are the women I will have around my table.
And I'm not even going to say anything.
I'll just cook, bake cakes, and I'll just be in the room. That's okay for me.
Let them talk. What am I adding to the discourse? So yeah, imagine part of a clan style network. But anyway, let's move on to Nicole Avant.
I've spoken about Nicole Avant before.
Her father was extremely powerful black Hollywood. He made the deals happen for a lot of black actors. And he was very much about not just making the deals happen, making guaranteeing their welfare, making sure they were treated right. That was him. I think his name was Clarence and Nicole is his daughter. And she is a former United States ambassador to the Bahamas. She is married to Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos. Yes.
But it's not the fact that she is married to Ted is the fact that in her own right this woman is powerful, wellconed, beautiful and elegant. and she was at the Netflix gathering in Monteito on April the 10th where she and Megan were holding hands and embracing because remember when they said that Tessandos wouldn't speak to the Sussexes without his lawyers present and again it's always a midlevel executive that looks well not even going to you know not even going to go there it's always them that do the leaking because they're not in those rooms.
They're literally getting emails of people who knew people who were in those rooms. So Nicole is another powerful woman supporting Megan amazingly well. And the male initially called this a cynical forced closeness before a guest at the gathering described it as a purposeful display of unity. Nicole was like, "You know what, girl? I have you. I have your back. Don't worry about what the nonsense the papers are saying." In one photograph, all that was debunked.
Remember when they said the same thing about Gwennneth Paltro, but for some reason they didn't go after Gwyneth Paltro. I wonder why. So I am talking about these women because I want you to know one thing. They are going to go after them. The Daily Mail if they can't you know um um destroy Megan or the you know they will try and go people and go for people around her. But what they don't know is that some people they have outgrown these people are outside that ecosystem.
These women are so accomplished they are not looking for positive reviews from the Daily Mail. They are way beyond the Daily Mail. And many people in their circle, they're like the Daily Who. So yeah, um these are the four women that are making sure that Megan will never ever ever ever fail. And if it is true, that's amazing. And I would say well done to Megan for surrounding herself with quality people, with people who understand about 5:00 a.m. emails, with people who know what it is to build with your own hands, with people who enjoy the hustle, with people who are global.
So, they are beyond the reach of a proxy paper millions of miles away that keeps losing readers and doesn't even understand why. It's because they do nonsense like this.
