Our Team
Rachel – FOUNDER & CEO
Known to her audience as "Writeside Blonde," Rachel is the visionary force behind REDWHITEBLUE™ Magazine — the first freedom-focused children’s magazine designed to inspire bold thinkers, proud patriots, and future leaders.
Raised on an Iowa farm and shaped by small-town values, Rachel brings real-world grit, faith, and critical thinking to everything she builds. She is a mother and holds a master’s in Exercise Physiology.
She launched REDWHITEBLUE™ as more than a magazine — it’s a movement. One that blends education with imagination, truth with creativity, and patriotism with purpose.
When she’s not collaborating with her team at REDWHITEBLUE, she is probably at a ball park or basketball court watching her kids play sports, or baking something homemade like Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins or Monster Cookies.
