Dr. Misee Louise Harris 

I got a nice email from Dr. Harris today letting me know she is the next Bachelorette — she hopes.  Although I don’t do the Bachelor/Bachelorette, I will have to cheer Dr. Harris on and hope that she indeed does become America’s first black Bachelorette.  Just what is ABC trying to pull anyway?  It wasn’t two weeks ago that we were discussing four black women on the Bachelor.

Actually, Dr. Harris still has to win.  But she definitely has the looks, smarts and glam to pull this off. I don’t know how she can sincerely vet so many men in so little time though.  I would still look forward to your wedding.  Word to the wise Dr. Harris, if you make it and choose a white guy, you will draw the ire of black folks across the land.   But it will be great for ratings! (PR information follows below).

After 25 seasons on the air, ABC’s reality dating game show, “The  Bachelor/Bachelorette” has managed to fulfill a void for various eligible contestants. However, to the disappointment of many fans, the show’s lack of diversity has raised questions as to why there has  never been a non-white bachelor/bachelorette? Well look no further, Lexington, KY pediatric dentist, Dr. Misee Harris is vying to become  the show’s first African American hopeful in the leading role.

Dr. Harris is a graduate of Columbia Central High School. She continued her education at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, earning a B.S. Degree in Biology. But that wasn’t enough, she then completed her Doctor of Dental Medicine Degree at the University of Kentucky and is completing a residency in Pediatric Dentistry. When she’s not making rounds at the hospital, Dr. Harris enjoys thrift shopping, making jewelry, modeling, and watching reality television (of course). In addition, Dr. Harris is kept quite busy entertaining her 4-year-old Britany Spaniel, Grace.

This small town girl has her eyes set on Hollywood. You can follow Dr. Harris’ journey on Facebook (Misee Harris 4 The Black Bachelorette), Twitter (@MiseeHarris), and Instagram (@miseeharris).
