i’m rachel a. dawson.

or you can call me rad.

this is the space i share longform thoughts on life, faith, mental health, singleness, reading, hobbies, advocacy, and more. i aim to keep it honest, unfiltered, and still fun, while being a deeper dive into who i am and what i care about.

most content is behind a paywall here, not because i want to gatekeeper, but because i want this to be a community full of genuine connections and great conversations, and that takes more investment!

if you can’t swing a paid membership but want to dive in, shoot me an email at [email protected] and we’ll work it out, no problem. 😌

a bit about me:

i’m a social media manager of a university by day, a local needlepoint shop on the side, and a bookstagrammer, content creator, tiktoker, richmond city lover, and more on my own accounts, too. i’m a reader and a journaler, a hobby hopper and a big feeler, a first-born daughter, an enneagram 1 infj taurus, and a true-blue millennial.

i’m so glad you’re here.

this is a space where, in addition to my website, my bookstagram, my instagram, my booktok, and my new youtube, i’ll be sharing with you (usually) a couple of times a month. things get more real here than they do on the more public pockets of the internet.
