Rachel Dolezal Makes One More Attempt at Relevancy With New Book – blogged by: @proudlylauren

Just when you thought you could put Rachel Dolezal and her identity crisis in the past, the former NAACP chapter president, has made yet another attempt to remain relevant.

The former head of Spokane, Washington’s NAACP chapter, told the Today Show on Tuesday, that she plans on addressing her racial identity in a new book set to release this year. Dolezal told the talk show “I don’t have any regrets about how I identify. I’m still me and nothing about that has changed.”

Along with addressing her identity, the former African studies professor (who’s contract at Eastern Washington had expired and wasn’t renewed after the debacle) plans to also incorporate some of her old teaching material. 

She told Vanity Fair last year “I don’t know spiritually and metaphysically how this goes, but I do know that from my earliest memories I have awareness and connection with the black experience, and that’s never left me. It’s not something that I can put on and take off anymore. Like I said, I’ve had my years of confusion and wondering who I really [was] and why and how do I live my life and make sense of it all, but I’m not confused about that any longer. I think the world might be—but I’m not.”

Dolezal says she plans on teaching again, and getting back into racial injustice; which is fine, I just hope she learns to correctly self identity going forward.
