Former "White" African American Leader Adopts Igbo Name. by Okey80: 6:55am On Mar 02, 2017
TMZ is reporting that Rachel Dolezal -- the white former NAACP leader who believes she's black -- is doubling down with a legal name change to Nkechi Amare Diallo. For those that don't know, NAACP means National association for the advancement of coloured people.

Years back, Rachel was meet with backlash and outrage especially from the African America community when her parents revealed to the media that she's actually a white lady.

The 39-year-old filed to adopt the West African names in Washington State ... according to Daily Mail. Nkechi is short for Nkechinyere in the Nigerian language of Igbo, and translates to "gift of god."

Her new last name, Diallo, comes from the Fula people of West Africa and means "bold" ... which seems all too fitting for her
