Rachel Wells is a name you may not have heard before. She is an emerging independent journalist covering reproductive and abortion rights, sexual violence, and trauma from deep red Tennessee. Her work has appeared on the cover of ACLU Magazine and in Rewire News, Nashville Banner, Nashville Scene, and The Tennessean, among others.
