Rachel Dolezal Changes Her Name To Nkechi Amare Diallo by ragiluhivo(m): 1:44pm On Mar 02, 2017
Rachel Dolezal, the former head of Spokane, Washington's NAACP chapter who claimed to be black before her parents 'outed' her as white, officially changed her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo in a Washington court in October, legal documents obtained by DailyMail.com 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.'
Diallo, meaning 'bold,' is a last name of Fula origin. The Fula people are a Muslim ethnic group thought to have roots in the Middle East and North Africa, who are now widely dispersed across West Africa.

Since the revelation about her race two years ago, Dolezal, 39, has had a difficult time patching her reputation back together and providing for herself and three children.

After applying for more than 100 jobs, including a position at the university where she used to teach, she says that no employer will hire her. A friend reportedly helped her pay two months of rent and Dolezal said she expects to be homeless.
Shortly after her name change last fall, though, Dolezal employed her newfound identity to try to garner a small amount of positive attention.



She started a Change.org petition in October urging the TEDx organization to post one of her controversial speeches from April, 2016 at the University of Idaho. She listed the petition under Nkechi Diallo, never mentioning her birth name.

Affection driven change.

Some whites are deeply affectionate with the aura of the black man, and many blacks feels the same way towards whites. Even in slave trade era,

Many whites are opposed to slave trade believing that the black man is no different from white other than skin colour. But others are very ruthless with the blacks.

There were whites among the conductors of underground tunnels where blacks running away from enslavers from southern America passes through to freedom up north, before the civil war.

There were whites among black protesting for civil right back in the days of Luther king.

Everywhere, some are affectionate, some are not, but very hateful.
