Rachelle Zola is a storyteller and advocate for racial equity, known for her 40-day hunger strike in 2021, urging Congress to pass H.R. 40 to create a commission to study reparations for African Americans. Recently, she completed an 825-mile pilgrimage from Chicago to Montgomery, performing her one-woman show, LATE: A Love Story, which explores personal and collective stories about racism in America.
After walking 825 miles from Chicago to Montgomery, hear Rachelle’s stories:
- What surprised you?
- What did you learn?
- What’s next for you?
Takeaways:
Rachelle invites you to reimagine our shared world as one that celebrates our diversity and freedom to be our authentic selves. Begin by asking just one person today: “What do you want me to know about you?” – if it’s someone you know well, you may want to add “today” – “What do you want me to know about you today?”

Deborah, thank you again! What a delight meeting you! How you and I met…we met through Yvor Stoakley a long time friend of yours and who I met when I moved to Chicago. Yvor has been instrumental, and I’m not exaggerating, he’s been indispensable in reaching out to organizations, churches, community centers, etc. that hosted my performance throughout my walking pilgrimage. He has created a network for Late Love that continues to grow. He is already booking me for February in the Chicago area! And you are a product of that and I thank you! That you for embracing me. Yvor, I thank you! In my play, my words, I say – I can’t do this without you. And expanding on that – we can’t do this without each other. Radical love! Rachelle
