She wants to make her name sound black. It’ll help persuade more than her makeup.
Her new name: Nkechi Amare Diallo
Former NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal gets new African name
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Former Spokane, Washington, NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal, who resigned amid criticism that she was passing herself off as black, has changed her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo. Court documents show a judge granted her request on Oct. 7, 2016. Her new name has origins in Africa.
You might believe that; she apparently is paying tribute to her supposed African heritage.
Would you believe that Nkechi Amare Diallo, short for Nkechinyere, originates from the Igbo language of Nigeria and means “what god has given” or “gift of god”?
You’d better believe it, because all of the above is true, according to The Daily Mail.
