Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's strategist has spoken out about what being married to a black man has taught her and her belief that all white people are 'rife with internalised racism'.
Invisible Hand - a social impact and culture change agency founded by Genevieve Roth - has joined Archewell to focus on "strategic change through storytelling and community building in support of gender and racial equity".
Ms Roth wrote in a piece for Primer that her marriage to her black husband, Jordan, made her realise that the world treated them differently.
She said in the article: "Race is an issue in our marriage because as a white woman of privilege, I have racist tendencies written in at a cellular level, and that can really gum up the works. "
Ms Roth is vocal about the lessons she's learned 'the hard way' and the work still to be done.
She says she knows she has been given a privilege and a 'lens', and it's her own responsibility to fix it.
Ms Roth said in Good Housekeeping last year: “It does not matter how many marches I have planned or how many progressive candidates I have campaigned for or how many times I have chanted Black Lives Matter in the streets: I am rife with internalised racism and unconscious bias.
“And to all of the non-black folks reading this, we need to get clear on something: So are you.”
Prince Harry has similarly said on more than one occasion that being married to Meghan opened his eyes up to racial bias.
He has previously admitted his privileged upbringing as a member of the Royal Family meant he had "no idea" unconscious racial bias existed.
The Duke of Sussex said it took him many years - and the experience of "living" in wife Meghan Markle's shoes - to recognise the issue in a chat with Black Lives Matter activist Patrick Hutchinson last year.
Chatting from his home in Santa Barbara, California in the US, via video call, Harry said: "No one's pointing the fingers.
"You can't really point fingers, especially when it comes to unconscious bias.
"But once you realise or you feel a little bit uncomfortable, then the onus is on you to go out and educate yourself because ignorance is no longer an excuse.
"And unconscious bias, from my understanding, having the upbringing and the education that I had, I had no idea what it was. I had no idea it existed.
"And then, sad as it is to say, it took me many, many years to realise it, especially then living a day or a week in my wife's shoes."
Prince Harry made similar comments in the recent, famous chat with Oprah.
Toya Holness, global press secretary for Archewell, said: "Archewell is incredibly pleased to welcome Ben, Genevieve and the Invisible Hand team to the organisation.
"Along with the appointment of James Holt as executive director of Archewell Foundation, they join a rapidly expanding team that's deeply dedicated to advancing systemic cultural change and supporting compassionate communities across the world."
