With season 18 of The Bachelorette wrapping up, and this being the first time this franchise has seen it’s final 4 contestants being Black Indigenous People of Colour, since its 2002 debut. It’s time to talk about why it took so long. Like it or not, reality tv, and media in general, plays such a large role in our lives and the Bachelor Franchise wields immense power with its Monday night monopoly. In this episode, Emma is joined by Shamudi and Kelly: two long-time friends and Bachelor fans, to talk about how deeply intertwined the roots of racism are into this franchise, what it means to continue watching, what it means from a larger perspective and where do allies go from here.
