Notorious race faker Rachel Dolezal has resurfaced with a stunning new look.
The activist, who now goes by the Nigerian name Nkechi Amare Diallo, showed off her glam makeover while celebrating her 48th birthday last week.
She looked much younger and fresher than before, with some fans comparing her to Katy Perry.
‘Are you dating Justin Trudeau,’ joked one, while another wrote, ‘Why are you Katy Perry?’
Others pointed out that Dolezal now looks more Caucasian compared to the dark bronzers that she sometimes wears to look more in line with her transracial identity.
‘Did you get the Michael Jackson treatment?’ asked one.

‘You look pretty, your natural skin color suits you,’ a second wrote, while a third added, ‘You look way better embracing your whiteness than you did pretending to be black.’
After skyrocketing to public attention in 2015 for passing herself off as a black woman, the former NAACP leader was unable to find work.
She eventually found a job as an after school instructor at Sunrise Drive Elementary School in Tuscan, Arizona, but was sacked early last year when her side hustle as an OnlyFans creator was exposed.
In an email, Tucson School District Director of Alumni & Community Relations Julia Fairbanks said the district was unaware of the account.
‘We only learned of Ms. Nkechi Diallo’s Only Fans social media posts yesterday afternoon,’ they shared.
‘Her posts are contrary to our district’s ‘Use of Social Media by District Employees’ policy (attached) and our staff ethics policy. She is no longer employed by the Catalina Foothills School District.’
Dolezal’s page was launched in September 2021 and was reportedly going to feature ‘foot photos,’ hair tutorials and fitness routines.
However, it has since evolved to feature more explicit content, including sex tapes.

Dolezal spent more than 10 years posing as a black woman, rising to become a chapter president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
She also became a teacher of Africana studies at East Washington University.
In 2015, a local news reporter in Washington ‘outed’ Dolezal after revealing her Montana parents, Ruthanne and Lawrence Dolezal, were both white.
She was sacked from her job with the NAACP and subsequently dismissed from her position at Eastern Washington University.
The controversial ‘civil rights activist’ would later argue that she was ‘transracial’ and has said she did nothing wrong in not correcting ‘assumptions’ that she is black.
Dolezal began to try to rebuild her image with a Netflix documentary in 2018, The Rachel Divide.
She then attempted to generate some income writing a memoir called In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World.

Things fell apart when in May 2018, Dolezal was charged with theft by welfare fraud, perjury and false verification for public assistance.
Court documents alleged that she illegally received $8,747 in food assistance and $100 in childcare assistance from August 2015 through November 2017.
Dolezal settled in a Washington court in April, agreeing to pay an undisclosed restitution and complete 120 hours of community service.
High school pictures emerged of Dolezal – before she had made attempts to cast herself as a black woman – with blond hair.
In 2020, Dolezal appeared in a new documentary about black beauty, in which she claims people who criticize her are ‘white supremacy folks’ and blames her black ex-husband for ‘repressing’ her.
Titled ‘Subjects of Desire’ and directed by Jennifer Holness’, the documentary debuted at SXSW, and featured Dolezal saying she had been a victim of ‘shaming and ridicule’ due to the scandal.
‘I’ve been called an insult to white women and an insult to black women. White women are angry because I did what they never would do and went further, like I put 110,’ she said, according to Daily Beast.
‘I didn’t just be that white ally and do a little bit, I canceled my white privilege. I canceled my hair.’
Dolezal further opened up about her identity in a 2021 interview on The Tamron Hall Show.
‘When it comes to race and identity, I’ve always identified racially as “human” but have found more of a home in black culture and the black community, and that hasn’t changed,’ she explained.
‘I’m still the same person I was in May of 2015 I’m still doing the work I’m still pressing forward but it has been really tough for sure,’ she continued.
‘Not having a job for six years, having to create my own job and find my own ways to provide for my children through braiding hair, through grant writing to bring funds into marginalized communities and black-owned businesses and non-profits, through painting, through doing pep talks on Cameo.com.’
Dolezal – who has said she is ‘transracial’, equating her experience to that of being transgender – remained defiant in talking to Hall, stating that she couldn’t change who she is and would not bow to pressure.
‘It’s definitely been a long six years, but I really strongly believe that as a person, you have to just continue to be who you are. And you can’t change who you are.’
