Whos better equipped to talk diva thanMariah Carey?

Carey even goes so far as to say that Markle has diva moments.
It stopped me in my tracks … when she called me a diva!
For Markle, the term is fraught (hence her making a podcast episode to unpack it).
She meantdivaas a compliment, she continues.
But I heard it as a dig.
I heard it as the worddivaas I think of it.
But in that moment, as she explained to me, she meant it as chic, as aspirational.
And how one very charged word can mean something different for each of us its mind-blowing to me.
Im still wearing this because I like how it looks and I dont care, she tells Markle.
Like its not okay for you to be a boss.
Its not okay for you to be a strong woman.
People, people, strive for divadom, Carey provides as a diva affirmation.
