The privacy minded Meghan is set to attend the SXSW Conference in Austin, Texas, participating in a panel titled "Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen." The event, coinciding with International Women's Day on March 8, will feature Meghan alongside prominent figures such as TV presenter Katie Couric and actress Brooke Shields, with The Amendment podcast's Errin Haines moderating the session.The panel aims to highlight the contributions of women in media and entertainment, underscoring their roles in leadership and narrative shaping. SXSW, which started in 1987 as a music festival and has since expanded to include film and TV sectors, is known for bringing together creative minds to explore forward-focused experiences.Meghan's participation in the event was announced through a press release on the newly launched Sussexes' website and SXSW's official platforms. The announcement emphasizes Meghan's advocacy for human rights, gender equity, and her identity as a feminist, alongside detailing the achievements of Couric and Shields in their respective fields. This gathering at SXSW serves as a platform for discussions on women's leadership and the impact of their stories in media.Meghan was given top billing in the press release.Talk TV’s Cristo Foufas said, “They invade their own privacy, you can’t have it both ways. You can't confess to the world every thought and feeling you're having and be victims, and then expect your fans to give you a level of privacy. It’s absolute hypocrisy.”Royal insider Deep Crown was not impressed by the agenda, saying, "Meghan does seem quite comfortable sticking to her familiar narrative, doesn't she? Outside of the Hollywood elite, though, it's questionable how much of an appetite there is for this. Spotify learned this lesson the hard way, to the tune of $25 million. One can't help but worry that her new podcast might be headed down the same path unless Meghan takes a pivot and decides to inject a dose of genuine entertainment into her new venture."
