Suits fans, great news! Rachel and Dana, portrayed by Meghan Markle and Abigail Spencer, have reunited once again. They came together to show their support for Alliance of Moms, a community that helps pregnant and parenting teens in foster care. The duo, along with cofounder Kelly McKee Zajfen, were seen in a series of Instagram photos posted on Wednesday, April 17, all wearing "Love Like a Mother" tees.
Proceeds from purchasing this tee go towards providing crucial services, education, and advocacy for young parents in foster care and their children to help them heal and succeed.
In her caption, Zajfen expressed her gratitude, "When I think of those who lift us up with unwavering love, I think of these two. You inspire me, lift me up when I'm down, and love like a mother!"
