MBTI & Celebs Rachel Hollis: ESFJ

“Rachel Hollis (born January 9, 1983) is an American author, motivational speaker, and blogger.

She is the author of three self-help books, including Girl, Wash Your Face and Girl, Stop Apologizing.

She faced backlash in 2021 after posting a controversial TikTok video; The New York Times subsequently ran a story about her entitled "Girl, Wash Your Timeline." (…)

Her breakthrough moment on social media came in March 2015, when an Instagram photo of her celebrating her stretch marks went viral.

"I wear a bikini because I'm proud of this body and every mark on it. Those marks prove that I was blessed enough to carry my babies and that flabby tummy means I worked hard to lose what weight I could," she wrote in the post. It garnered more than ten million views.

Hollis' book Girl, Wash Your Face was described by The Washington Post as mixing "memoir, motivational tips, Bible quotations and common-sense girl talk."

The prevailing message of Girl, Wash Your Face is one largely of female self-reliance, summed up by Hollis as "You, and only you, are ultimately responsible for how happy you are."”

MBTI & Writers Thomas Chatterton Williams: INFJ

“Thomas Chatterton Williams is the author of Self-Portrait in Black and White, Losing My Cool, and a contributing writer at the New York Times Magazine. (…)

Thomas Chatterton Williams, the son of a “black” father from the segregated South and a “white” mother from the West, spent his whole life believing the dictum that a single drop of “black blood” makes a person black.

This was so fundamental to his self-conception that he’d never rigorously reflected on its foundations—

but the shock of his experience as the black father of two extremely white-looking children led him to question these long-held convictions.

It is not that he has come to believe that he is no longer black or that his kids are white, Williams notes.

It is that these categories cannot adequately capture either of them—or anyone else, for that matter.”
