Rachel Dolezal, Errrr...I mean Nkechi Amare Diallo?

Join hosts Amy and Kevin in the dumpster this week as they chat with Amy’s former students, Le’Asia and Alisha, about the ever-enigmatic Rachel Dolezal and being young, Black people in Portland. 

Rachel Dolezal (also known as Nkechi Amare Diallo) came to fame/infamy in 2015 while she was serving as the president of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington. Rachel was an African Studies instructor at Eastern Washington University and the mother to two Black boys. She was a well-respected and outspoken “Black” woman in her community, until she was confronted about her very white, very confusing past. Does it matter if she’s Black or white? Yes, we think it does. Listen as we hash out Rachel’s past and the impact it has on our community today...and have a little fun while doing it!
