Rachel Dolezal, formerly known for her controversial claim of a transracial identity as Black, has resurfaced in the public eye under unfortunate circumstances.
Now going by the name Nkecki Diallo, she has been terminated from her position within the Catalina Foothills Unified School District due to violations of the district’s social media policy.
According to Julie Farbarik, the district’s director of alumni & community relations, Dolezal’s dismissal stemmed from posts. District officials deemed these posts contrary to the district’s policies on the use of social media by employees and ethical standards.
The reason for Rachel Dolezal-Nkecki Diallo firing
The motivation for Dolezal’s firing was the discovery of her posting explicit content on OnlyFans. Some individuals have circulated explicit photos on other public websites. It’s unclear whether Dolezal herself shared them or if someone else uploaded them.
Diallo, formerly known as Rachel Dolezal, gained fame in 2014. She was accused of misrepresenting her racial identity while leading the NAACP in Spokane, Washington. She ultimately left her position amidst the backlash.
