When <a href="https://www.instagram.com/therachlindsay/?hl=en">Rachel Lindsay</a> said yes to being on The Bachelor, she had no clue what she was getting herself into. Since then, she has gone from practicing lawyer, to The First Black Bachelorette, to media personality and <a href="https://www.rachellindsayofficial.com/">author</a>. 
Today, Christiana and Rachel talk about Black women on reality TV and how she helped change the genre.

Space Racism & Astrology With Margaret Gaida

Pop Syllabus is a show where host Christiana Mbakwe Medina deconstructs the zeitgeist and answers the big cultural questions. How did we swing from body positivity to thin-being-in? Why do so many people trust wellness influencers over medical doctors? And how did tech oligarchs become the new celebrities? Think of Christiana as a cross between a messy news anchor and guerilla academic. Each week, she and an expert guest will unpack a buzzy topic, and help us understand the moment while going through it.
