When Everything You Were Taught Stops Making Sense
Picture a moment when your entire worldview shatters. For some, it's a quiet unraveling. For others, it's an earthquake. Rachel Elizabeth Cargle's transformation began with both - a phone buzzing in a museum and a question that wouldn't let go: *Why are you supporting a movement that has never supported you?* Standing among artifacts of the Hohokam people who lived communally, she was confronted with a viral photo of herself at the Women's March. While white platforms celebrated her image, Black readers challenged her participation in a movement that historically excluded them. This wake-up call sparked a complete reimagining of her life - from feminism to family, from work to rest. Rachel's childhood in Akron, Ohio was anchored in Baptist faith - a sanctuary where she felt safe among other Black children, away from her predominantly white suburban world. Church wasn't just Sunday services; it was the rhythm of her family's life. But when her father died despite her fervent prayers, when her sisters succumbed to addiction, when she found herself raising their children with her mother, the promises of faith began to crack. Fast-forward to her early twenties: married to Manny in a yellow sundress and khakis, trying to build safety through traditional vows. Yet a persistent voice whispered that something was wrong. After divorce, living in her uncle's basement eating burritos and watching *Scandal*, she tasted freedom for the first time - responsible only to herself, with no one dictating her thoughts or choices. What follows isn't just one woman's story. It's an invitation to question every inherited script you've been handed and ask: *What would my life look like if I designed it myself?*
