Only now her name is "Nkechi Amare Diallo". And she's written a book detailing how she became a black woman despite having white parents:
In the book, she says her brother molested her as a child, her family forced her to eat her own vomit and she wore clothing made of dog fur.
She talks about her desire to be black at a young age.
“I would pretend to be a dark-skinned princess in the Sahara Desert or one of the Bantu women living in the Congo … imagining I was a different person living in a different place was one of the few ways … that I could escape the oppressive environment I was raised in.”
She would rub mud on her hands, arms, feet and legs, she writes.
As she grew older, she didn't correct those who thought she was black. In fact, she embraced it. She tanned and braided her hair.
Her first marriage to an African American man was rough because Dolezal writes she was "too black" for him.
