This week, Trista continues her raw, emotional, and important discussion with Rachel Lindsay. We learn more about Rachel’s life beyond The Bachelorette as she opens up and shares some very difficult personal moments of dealing with overt racism and harmful microaggressions. She discusses how she has had to suppress her emotions and reactions for fear of being unfairly labeled and judged, and how she copes. She even talks about where her relationship with Hannah Brown stands, her hopeful plans of becoming a mother, and how she plans to raise biracial children with Bryan. Plus, Rachel offers up specific resources to help us all do the work necessary to effect progress toward racial equality. This conversation may be an uncomfortable one for many, but it is in the face of the greatest discomfort where the biggest and best changes in perspective can happen.
