76: Rachel Nabors on React Community Empowerment

Today we sit down with award winning cartoonist, a book apart author, web animations expert, new member to the React Core Team, and all round lovely human Rachel Nabors.

We talk about her journey to React, the Woman at the Heart of React zine (from this year's React Conf), and her charter to make React and React Native documentation friendly, powerful, and inclusive.
