Summary

Ms. Rachel started a Youtube Channel called "Songs For Littles" in 2019 with the goal of helping babies and toddlers develop speaking skills and in less than a decade has built a gigantic empire involving Netflix deals, mass marketed merchandise...and controversy. Yes controversy, because hey, the Internet isn't anything if not consistently critical, especially of the people entertaining our kids so we don't have to. We get into all of it and celebrate someone who refuses to back down and give in to bullying despite getting death threats just for wanting kids to stop being killed. The story of Ms Rachel is the story of modern online culture and perseverance while still keeping your dignity and pink hairband. Want even more Nerd of Mouth?
