Rachel Karras kicks off The Enquirer’s new special-edition podcast series “Beyond Sunday, presented by Mi Cozumel” that shines a light on six wives or girlfriends of Bengals players.
The podcast will post every Tuesday morning from May 19 through June 23.
The wife of Cincinnati Bengals center Ted Karras joined Bengals beat reporter Kelsey Conway in studio to discuss how she met her husband, her career as a Pilates instructor, behind the scenes details of the Cincy Hat Foundation, moving to three new cities and raising a child in Cincinnati.
Among the conversation topics:
Rachel and Ted Karras have devoted a significant number of resources to improving the quality of life for adults with disabilities. All of the proceeds from each of The Cincy Hats sold goes directly to the Village of Merici and now, a new housing development that is coming to Cincinnati.
The Cincy Hat Foundation, broke ground on a housing development project in late February in Madisonville. The property is a building designed specifically for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
To be able to build a complex in Cincinnati is one of the most rewarding parts of this process for Rachel. The Karras’ hope to open the apartment complex by Halloween.“… it’s going to be seven bedrooms, five units of housing for a population with a tremendous need,” Rachel said.
The full conversation with Rachel Karras is available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music. Next week: Halle Gesicki, wife of Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki.
