Written Work
“Whenever Rachel shares new writing, I can’t wait to sit and take in her words. She bears her soul in such an honest and needed way. Her thoughtful, nuanced essays written to “Dear Little Brown Girl,” are at once intimate letters to her inner child, loving letters for her daughters, and letters for all of us who hope for a better world—a rare, writerly feat.”
—Tasha Jun, author of Tell Me the Dream Again
In addition to her Substack, Rachel’s work has been published in the Redbud Hyphen, Resolute Magazine, and a blog hosted by Christianity Today (see below).
