In a previous life, before she was sending out press releases that were wildly inaccurate to the tune of $25.6 million, Rachel Noerdling was waxing philosophical on her racial identity and, more lucratively, she serves as the spokesperson for the Honorable Reverend Doctor Al Sharpton. From an article in the November 2003 issue of Esquire, Tucker Carlson writes of trying to schedule travel arrangements with Sharpton:

I'd first heard about the trip only five days before, when Rachel Noerdlinger, Sharpton's spokeswoman, sent me a two-sentence e-mail: "Rev. is planning to head to Liberia this Sat. and if you want to go, call Minister Akbar Muhammad for travel details." She added that if I wanted my visa expedited, I should call a number in Brooklyn and "ask for Brian."
[...]
Muhammad agreed to purchase my plane tickets and set up hotel and travel arrangements, all for a 2.5 percent processing fee. Rachel Noerdlinger seemed surprised when I told her about it. "You gave your credit card to Akbar Muhammad?" she said. "The entire Nation of Islam is going to be buying clothes on you. Louis Farrakhan's going to get a new house on your MasterCard." Actually, she assured me, "they'd get their ass in trouble if they did that."

How comforting.
