Rachel Dolezal is back in the news again for a shocking discovery with a twist.
Now Nkechi Diallo, Rachel Dolezal, a former teacher at Catalina Foothills School District in Tucson, was fired this Tuesday after the district discovered that she promoted adult content on the content-curated platform Onlyfans.
Renamed herself Nkechi Diallo, in 2016, Dolezal had a stint as an NAACP leader in Spokane, Washington, stirring up a national fuss by claiming Black identity despite being born to white parents.
Her Instagram page led curious clickers to her OnlyFans account, which didn’t sit well with the district’s social media rules. According to district spokesperson Julie Farbarik, Dolezal had been on the district’s payroll since August 2023, working part-time as an after-school instructor and a substitute through Educational Services Inc.
Despite having her OnlyFans since 2021, the district only caught wind of it recently, according to Farbarik. She noted the content clashed with the district’s social media and staff ethics policies, sealing Dolezal’s fate at Catalina Foothills School District.
One of the district’s social media rules requires employees to keep it professional and avoid actions that could tarnish their work reputation. Dolezal, previously known as Rachel Dolezal, rose to national notoriety in 2015 when her white parents publicly outed her as not being Black. Although the NAACP stated that white leaders were part of their organization, critics lambasted Dolezal for passing herself off as Black.
In a November 2015 interview with NBC News, she reiterated her identification as Black, despite her white parentage, attributing it to her hairstyle and tan. Dolezal later told the Guardian that she views race as a social construct, suggesting that she feels more aligned with being “trans-Black” than identifying as white.
She argued that political, social, or cultural issues are seen through black-and-white lenses, as she sees it.
