She has toured nationally performing at slam venues, colleges, and festivals. Her work has appeared on Upworthy, The Huffington Post, The Militant Baker, and Everyday Feminism.
Join us on this episode as we discuss how she got into poetry, her choice to be Childfree and to hear Rachel teach me about body positivity and fat-shaming, among other subjects. Rachel also opens up about her journey of acceptance and, oh, the lessons she leaves with her words are priceless.
