This project is inspired by the life of Nelson Mandela. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have another show heading to Netflix this month—this one not about their love story or royal exit, but about leaders, activists, and individuals who've made a difference in the world.

The Light We Carry is supposedly a guide for all women, everywhere, in their 'ongoing journey to "becoming"'. We must embrace our true potential, she suggests, despite being thwarted by prejudice and, yes, dastardly men. Michelle offers such sage reflections as 'fear can keep us safe, but fear can keep us stuck'. Eh? 'We practise, we learn, learn and practise, we make mistakes then start over again,' she writes. If we 'recognise our light, we become empowered by it'. She also hails the joys of knitting to find lasting peace. The book is printed in 40 languages. Let's hope one...
