Corrections Corner: I listened to the episode of Bachelor Happy Hour (link below) where Rachel addresses Rachel and Ivan's conversation. I'd recommend it! Rachel's much more muted than what I suggested lol. It starts at 20:23, and Rachel makes a great point about the multiple cultures that Tayshia represents and how she could have expanded upon her experience. I thought it was interesting that Rachel mentioned that black and brown leads will be pressured to have these conversations. EVERY LEAD needs to have the range, and we should be expecting this from EVERYBODY!

Two episodes in one week?! I'm on a roll! I talk about some respectability queens before discussing my latest Kpop faves, Weki Meki. I'm giving a few POC Profiteers the side-eye, and I'm a little nervous about falling in love with these eight girls from Fantagio. Let me know what you think!
