I was first introduced to Rachel in the movies "The Craft" and "Embrace of the Vampire". I followed her on IG and her energy is just so positive and encouraging. The fact this woman is pushing 60 and doesn't look like she's aged past 30+ says a lot. Same with Cree Summer.

[@danavixen6274]

VERY true for both of them! 😊

I can't believe one of the main girls from The Craft is pushing 60 that's crazyyyyy

Rachel True & Cree Summer deserve all the praise between the two of them it was the first time I saw a different type of black girl on network television💕Talk about playing yourself Rachel True is very much a Mona Thorn and Freddie Brooks is definitely an extension of Cree Summer!💖🌸💐

I wish we had more representation of these beauties! I grew up with these types of girls and they represent what a Black woman looks like as much as what I look like. I want to see it all on TV and in film.

[@sherihenderson772]

Rachel was my friend on MySpace. She was always friendly and interacted with everyone. Nice person

[@InspiredByEbonyLove]

First met Rachel working on the show Half & Half. I was part of the office staff at the record company. She is a nice person .

[@jennny22233]

I was 5 years old in 2002 and I vividly remember signing “you and meeeeeeeeeeeee” with the chuckle 😂 I love half and half. As I got older and look back, she was a great representation of a normal looking black girl that wasn’t super skinny with a quirky style that was still seen as desirable.

[@MrRickymoore]

She's a mixture of Mel B and Kelis

[@PatriceCetrine]

I was thinking that too!

[@MrRickymoore]

When the song stops & she kept singing & started laughing! 😂😂 Still love that song & show! 💖

After watching so many of your breakdowns Karine, a lot of self care. Drinking water and sleeping enough does the work and taking care of yourself a lot. I’m glad there are a lot of people giving us the real deal on how to take care of ourselves.

[@corshawnhughes8325]

[@kiwthebeauty]

I love True. She definitely was one of the first black representation of esoteric things when I was a child. The 90s were trying but we’re still not as purposely inclusive as they are today. I loved her in Half and Half I feel she is so similar to Mona!

[@maserati925]

She’s biracial.. of ashkenazi Jewish heritage as well.

[@p.b.4464]

This girl is an absolute icon! Half Baked and The Craft?!?! These two movies were huge part of my adolescence, they probably shaped me more than I care to admit. Rachel has such a cool voice and a calm nature. Her hair is absolutely beautiful, and though I'm a fair skinned half Hispanic, my hair is like hers and it meant a lot to see her on screen experience. I have the same jokes about hair from down under made my expense as she did in The Craft. I would love to see you do a video on one of her the craft co-stars next, Fairuza Balk! I find her fascinating, and I have to imagine that she did not at all identify with her American History X character. I may just not know movies that these two ladies been in, but it seems like the both of them have this Daniel Day Lewis like thing where they do these absolutely iconic and impactful roles but then you don't see a whole lot of them.

[@d3stRuctv3]

She is also brave to be herself

Ahhh…shes a Scorpio…That explains it. We ♏️’s are usually drawn to the supernatural and occult. My interest err on that side as well. I have her tarot deck and learned a little about her life in the guidebook she included with the deck. She’s awesome. Love her energy

I really liked half and half, cute show and clothes. She just had a role on Harlem on Prime. Love your content! ✨️

[@sayeedharem4673]

The craft was such a relatable movie especially for girls who live in the burbs . I found alot of my yt friends were very into tapping into their feminine dark energy ( not just post partum colours or the convent) .And how interest in crystals and herbal teas can lead to candle rituals and worse .I loved it at the end of the Craft when they lost their powers due to misuse and they were simply binded

[@1phindy]

She was my favourite in Half and Half because I could somewhat relate to her feeling like she's an outsider and I guess it's a Scorpio thing to have this strong dark side that can really take over your life if you're not careful. I too was drawn to the supernatural and astrological wonders at a young age. I always wanted to be in the dark and took out the curtains in my room so I could feel as though I was sleeping outside....my mom was surei was crazy but then someone I met later on educated me about the darkness and how it creeps in if you give it any room in your life.

[@sandracrump]

[@levil4012]

Her and Melanie B hasn't aged a DAY...U can see that they take care of themselves, they're naturally beautiful women

[@lysmalls658]

Rachel is biracial that’s why her hair has the curls & texture

[@kelseyissastar]

While that is True, mixed black girls like her still have to figure out what works for them in terms of products and routine. It’s not the same struggle as a tighter curl pattern but when you’re mixed, you have multiple textures fighting for domination on your head and it takes work to get it how she has it. I hope that made sense. I’m not disagreeing, I’ve just seen the mixed girls in my family and the hair is crazy lol.

[@lysmalls658]

[@melaninandaura9713]

Rachel True’s hair is gorgeous but black girls with two parents who are black and so therefore who don’t have the looser curl pattern HAVE to know their hair is beautiful too. While there are exceptions to the rule black girls and women without a white or straight haired parent, will likely have coarse, tight curls that hair type is also gorgeous.

[@jillilucy]

Omg I lovee her ❤ she’s the reason I started to wear my natural curls to school. She was really ahead of her time cus it’s common now but early 2000s didn’t really embrace that. I was drawn to her from Half&Half lol

Rachel was my favorite from The Craft. I am mixed race and a nature witch, so she was someone I could look up to. Also love her in Half Baked (but that movie is just hilarious and wonderful anyways!)😍

[@davinad2137]

I was first introduced to Rachel in “The Craft” movie. I could not stop watching her every move on screen and now looking back I think I just watched “The Craft” for her. Then I got into Half & Half and also saw her in the Harlem tv show. I follow her on TikTok where she discusses from tarot readings to the roles she played. I love the term she used to describe her character on Half & Half , Manic Pixie Awkward Black Girl Magic, and I say it every morning now lol. Thank you Rachel True! 💓

Rachel True is the TRUE Whimsigoth Queen! Loooove her and her style!

She was like "omg i love your Lola Bunny cosplay and hair!" I was just shook bc i was like "DO YOU KNOW YOURE RACHEL TRUE?!" and she laughed. We found the bathroom then after we got out, we got out and hugged each other. I told her how much she inspired me as Mona on Half and Half, seeing as i am an alternative black girl.

Thank you! I can't understand why black folks think to eat healthy is to give up meat, smh. Grass-fed and organic is the best meat.

[@queennzinga5988]

@starlightrocks7 I don't know to!!! I am african and my people eat meat. My dad was 60 years old with no wrinkle people, though my dad was our elder brother. My mom didn't have wrinkle to 😆 (12kids) my husband grand dad still ate meat, and he was the most healthy person I know 101 years on this planet. Keep in mind many Africans changed their age (reduce their age) for different reasons. So he could have been more when he passed the way lol. If you check athletes who eat meat VS the one who doesn't, you will clearly see how often these who stop eating meats get injured. Yes vegetables and fruits is extremely important and so meat !!!!. Many people think Africans die young mainwhile these people change their age all the time most of our parents from my generation don't know their real age or real date of birth 🤣🤣😂😂 you think the person is 60 years old mainwhile their real age is 80 years 😂😂🤣🤣 honestly
