Description: In this episode, Rachel Lindsay gets real about what it was actually like to become the first Black Bachelorette. She talks about finding out while she was literally in the middle of a jury trial, getting thrown into late-night TV and Good Morning America, and the moment it hit her that life would never go back to “normal.” Rachel opens up about the pressure of representing Black America on such a huge stage, not having anyone Black behind the scenes to lean on, and why sending men home was way harder than she expected—plus the wild, once‑in‑a‑lifetime dates that almost made it all worth it.RESOURCES: Rachel Lindsay Website: rachellindsayofficial.comInstagram: @therachlindsayKeep in touch with Awf The Record:Watch on Youtube: @AwfTheRecordFollow us on Instagram: @awftherecordpodcastFollow us on TikTok: @AwfTheRecordVisit our website: www.AwfTheRecord.com Follow Mona on TikTok and IGFollow Jeannette on TikTok and IG
