To say that I have a girl crush on Rachel Bass would be an understatement. She is one of the coolest girls that I have met this year. She has a wardrobe any collegiette would die for, is crazy passionate about justice and empowering women everywhere, and has no shame about belting out Beyonce’s top hits with confidence from her floor on any given Friday night. I was lucky enough to sit down with Rachel and ask her what makes her the hip chick that she is.
