So what do we need to know before the season starts?
Rachel is a 31 year old lawyer from Texas and the first black bachelorette, which for many is a HUGE moment in bachelorette history. According to sources, there have been numerous complaints about a lack of diversity on the show for both the bachelor and bachelorette shows. Rachel is a successful, confident woman who is ready to break the current bachelorette barriers. But, let’s get to know Rachel a little further based on her contestant biography:
She has a fear of anything that flies (birds, grasshoppers).
Her biggest regret to date is that she’s focused too much on her career.
Her favorite artist is Jean-Michel Basquiat because he was so mysterious and died so young. There was so much to we never got to know about him.
Her greatest achievement is graduating law school and passing the bar the first time around.
She has a right rib cage tattoo and a bible verse on her left waist.
Rachel seems so interesting and a down to earth bachelorette who is about to capture our hearts again as she takes center stage. So, who’s excited to watch Rachel’s journey of finding love?
