The Bachelorette’s Rachel Lindsay Describes Miami Protest as ‘Beautiful’
Bachelorette for the 13th season of The Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay describes her experience in the Miami protest as “peaceful” and “beautiful.”
Lindsay recently started a podcast on Ringer with Van Lathan called “Higher Learning,” where she opened up about how she felt during the protest. She stated how “it was peaceful. It was beautiful.” She also mentioned the “beautiful speeches” she heard while protesting.
It was a “harsh reality” for Lindsay to witness some people “completely unbothered” by the current events happening, she explains in her podcast. It “hit [her] so hard” that the people who are not affected by the death of George Floyd just go about their day. Listen to the first full episode of the podcast below for more details.
She is afforded a large audience of followers thanks to her time on The Bachelorette to protest and share her thoughts on the situation. Lindsay has the platform to speak to many people regarding the injustice in the world as well as encourage others to take a stand on the situation.
On Saturday, May 30, Lindsay shared on her Instagram story a picture of her and her husband, writing “Today we protested. Today we went beyond our platform. Today we put action behind our words. Today we used our voices to make a difference…We have to keep pushing forward and demanding change.”
Lindsay is just one of the thousands of people who have shown support and expressed their opinions on George Floyd’s murder along with the injustice in the world. See some of her tweets and retweets below.

Take a stand. Raise awareness. Use your voice. Black Lives Matter.
Hi! I am Hannah Forton pursuing a double major in Communications and Music Industry. I love traveling, sports, cooking, music, Broadway, movies, DIY, make-up, clothes, and tutorials. Some of my favorite work experiences includes an internship at a recording studio and working at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Helping and educating others is important to me, and I’ve enjoyed being able to do so through volunteering for numerous non-profits since middle school. I like the big city vibes, but small towns will always hold a special place in my heart. Living near Detroit allows me to achieve the best of both worlds.
