This is not the first time Markle has worked with the Afghan community. In 2021, she and her husband, Prince Harry, visited a military base where they met with women from displaced families within the community. Similarly, the quality time the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent cooking with the women of that community mirrored the time Markle spent working with the Hobb Community Kitchen in 2018

At that time, the community inspired her to write the forward and assist in the publishing of “Together: Our Community Cookbook.” Fast forward five years, and Markle is bringing her work with Afghan women stateside, once again leveraging food as a means to create and unite communities. Beyond individual initiatives, the Welcome Projects hosts “Welcome Dinners” where attendees can connect over a shared meal.
