​Rachel Dowdell is a passionate writer, poet, and novelist.As an insightful and introspective woman, Dowdell often uses her writing to reflect on hard-hitting, controversial, and deeply personal topics— topics that cut to the core of what it means to be human. In her debut as a published poet, she offers her unique perspective as a young, bi-racial woman, boldly calling attention to the juxtapositions and tensions she feels as she struggles to find her identity and determine her purpose in a complex and confusing world. Throughout her journey, she challenges her readers to address their own fears and shortcomings, as she faces her own, all the while inspiring hope for the future and empowering her readers to take control of their destiny.When she’s not writing, Dowdell can often be found sipping a good cup of coffee, perusing a bookstore, or baking up a storm in her home kitchen.
