Thank to all that was bashing the young ladies appearance. Honey
has been snappin since. Rachel Jeantel was the friend of the late Trayvon Martin and since she experiences some media backlash earlier in the year, she now has
many supporters who are so excited about celebrating her inner beauty
and strength.
Turning a bitter
moment into a something
sweet...Yes Honey! {In my Nene
Leakes voice.} TheGrio
and Ebony Magazine gave her a new look in the “Rachel Jeantel: New Year,
New Look” issue. Check out
Miss Rachel Jeantel new look inside.
Okay here the snap: on Rachel per TheGrio:
"Rachel Jeantel loves Manhattan, she told me
during her latest trip. After a round of press last summer following her
appearance during the George Zimmerman trial, Jeantel returned to New York
recently — this time to be photographed for a timely makeover.
Now preparing to embark on a new future,
garnered in part by her bittersweet exposure to the limelight, theGrio
partnered with Ebony to
help Jeantel mature in her personal style.
Rachel takes New York
Rachel came for the beauty and fashion, but
underneath it all was all business. She exited the plane from Miami to get her
new look clutching a text book. Ms. Jeantel works with tutors and other mentors
paid for and selected by radio host Tom Joyner back at home to help her develop
her mind for the rapidly approaching goal of attending college.
Currently in counseling (also facilitated by
Joyner) to help her cope with losing her friend Trayvon Martin, Rachel is
handling the vacillations of life with a bold heart. And ignoring her critics.
“I don’t really care about that,” Rachel told
theGrio of the cruel backlash she faced upon becoming well-known. “I can’t let
them put me down. I was there to help a friend out,” she said of testifying
when others might have chosen to remain anonymous.
Rachel Jeantel became a household name when
she testified during the George Zimmerman trial for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, for which he was
acquitted of all charges. She testified that she was the person on the phone
Martin was speaking to when he first encountered Zimmerman.
Since then, Rachel has endured both social
media jeers and developed a compassionate fan base. Yet, what she is really
focused on is her future"....
