Rachel Dolezal legally changed name to a West African moniker meaning 'gift of god'

2017-03-02

- Rachel Dolezal, 39, changed her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo in a Washington state court in October. Legal documents show Nkechi, short for Nkechinyere, is a name that originates from the Igbo language of Nigeria and means 'what god has given' or 'gift of god'
She still hasn't turned black.
- Dolezal, former president of the NAACP’s Spokane, Washington chapter and a part-time professor of Africana Studies at Eastern Washington University, shot to notoriety in 2015 after being 'outed' as white by her parents
She doesn't even take a good tan.
- Just days after her recent name swap, the former professor started a Change.org petition under Nkechi Diallo to lobby TEDx to post one of her controversial speeches

- Dolezal's memoir, In Full Color, which charts her journey from childhood to NAACP president and activist, is set to be released next month
I understand she needs the money.

#7 Hrumph,

My name means "Gift from God" also...but then its an old old family name and Jesus's brother had the same name, though I am not sure "James" is Hebrew.

#2 I want to be a Heinleinian hero with spaceships and everything but Wishing for it ain't gonna make it so!
Maybe I should write a book so I can make myself feel better? Maybe I'll call it "Goin' Full Retard!"
