The full text of Meghan Markle and Gloria Steinem's conversation (opens in new tab) was released Wednesday, in which the two discussed voting and voter suppression, feminism, and the importance of expression. The conversation focused on the importance of voting itself, and while neither explicitly stated their intention to vote, when the conversation turned to vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris, Meghan said she was "very excited" about Harris' candidacy.

Neither Meghan nor Stilem mentioned Harris by name, but Stilem said, "The heart of the Democratic Party has been black women. Megan agreed, saying, "I'm very excited to see this kind of representation. Growing up biracial, I need to see someone who is like me in some way, whether it's a puppet or someone who is going to be president"

.

"As many of us believe, we can only be what we see," Megan continued.

"And in the absence of that, how can we aspire to something greater than what we see in our world?

Meghan also shared with Steinem her concerns about voter suppression. She said, "For example, if you're a person of color and you're standing in line for hours and someone tries to intimidate you to say that you should get out of line because you might be being watched or a number of very scary and threatening tactics, to help you understand what to do about this I had a chance to talk to Stacey Abrams," she said. [And here's what I think. You decide to step out of line and give up your right to vote. That's bad enough, but then someone behind you in line says, 'Whatever they did, ...... I don't want that to happen to me,' so there's a ripple effect," the Duchess of Sussex continued. 'It's very frightening. But I'm trying to figure out how to get around it, how to make people feel empowered."

"Just hearing you say that will help people be prepared for it," Steinem replied. 'I remember standing in line for eight hours in Florida. I didn't vote. I did not vote. If you have young children, how are you going to vote?

"But as a result, the next time you have an opportunity to vote, people say, 'We'll take your kids. We'll drive you to the polling place. Let's move the polling place closer to your house.' ' It really is one step at a time."
