Chapter 8: Girl, Wash Your Face, by Rachel Hollis | Ummmm, are you relatable or #relatable?

Thriving Between The Lines

In this episode, we dive into the 2018 New York Times Bestseller 'Girl, Wash Your Face" by Rachel Hollis.
Rachel Hollis built her brand on a platform of being super 'relatable'.....until it stopped working for her. Join us as we examine some key themes in this book through the lens of intersectionality. Some of our questions:
- What is the difference between being relatable and being #relatable?
- How does toxic positivity manifest in conversations about diversity (and should people just Google stuff instead of overburdening their 'diverse' friends with questions all the dang time)?
- How can a person be body positive and fatphobic all at once?
- Is adoption always compassionate? (spoiler: its not)
Hollis-bashing has been done to death, so we've really tried our best to focus mainly on the content of the book, rather than the whole Hollis....situation. So how'd we do?
Drop us a message and let us know! Any books you want us to discuss? Tell us about those too.
Kindest regards,
Leslie and Meka
