More about Emmanuel:
The 2021 ATFR host used his Instagram platform to introduce himself to Bachelor Nation.
“I’m the author of 2020 NYT best seller, ‘Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man,’ A book that answers all the racial questions you’ve been too afraid to ask. Go read it. I also graduated from the University of Texas with a masters degree, I played for 4 years in the NFL, and I currently host a sports show, @sfyonfs1. Lastly, I love being a bridge for reconciliation. Our world is disconnected & divided, my goal is to unify.”
Rumor has it:
Rachael thought Emmanuel would “be ideal since he has no affiliation with the franchise, and could be relatively neutral. Not just that, but Emmanuel is Black too … and well-versed in issues of race, as he’s quite vocal on his own programming. He seems pretty stoked for the opportunity too.”
A sticky situation:
Emmanuel is going straight into the hot seat as host of ‘After the Final Rose.’ Keep in mind, he will be facilitating a conversation between the current (first Black) Bachelor and finalist Rachael Kirkconnell, who attended an Antebellum party just three years ago.
