Girl, Bye, You’re Just Toxic White Feminism (Rachel Hollis)
Rachel Hollis is problematic AF. If you don’t know, according to Wikipedia: “Rachel Hollis is an American author, motivational speaker and blogger. Her first self-help book Girl, Wash Your Face — since its release in February 2018 — has maintained a spot in the top 10 best-selling books in the country for seven months, held the top spot for 12 of those weeks and has sold more than 880,000 copies in the United States. It was the second-most popular book of 2018 on Amazon.”
In a short video, Hollis refers to a livestream were she mentioned a “sweet woman” who comes to her house to “clean the toilets.” Many commenters reacted and told Hollis she was “privileged AF” and “unrelatable.”
Perhaps taking her own advice and not apologizing, Rachel acknowledged her privilege, but Hollis made the situation worse by not only calling herself “unrelatable,” but also mentioned the names of other women (mostly women of color) she found “unrelatable” just like her, including Harriet Tubman, RGB, Oprah, and Frida Kahlo. And, blaming her team for her various blunders.
