ABC casts Rachel Lindsay as first black Bachelorette
  • 7 years ago
After 15 years and plenty of public pressure for greater diversity, ABC named the first African-American to headline one of its hit dating series. Rachel Lindsay, a Dallas lawyer, will be the first black lead in ABC’s Bachelor franchise. Lindsay is a contestant on Nick Viall's current season of "The Bachelor," and she's actually still seemingly in contention for his heart with just three other women remaining after last night's episode. Though, clearly, things don't work out. I'm looking for someone who's ready for what I'm ready for. At this point in my life, at 31, I'm ready to find a husband, someone who's ready to start a family. Someone who can make me laugh [and has] a great smile. I am excited! I'm ready. I'm ready to find love.
