Rachel Dolezal Opens Up About Skin Cancer Scare Linked to Excessive Tanning

Rachel Dolezal, the controversial figure known for her racial identity scandal, recently had a melanoma removed from her lower back, which appears to be linked to excessive sun exposure.

Now using the name Nkechi Amare Diallo to reflect her self-identification as trans-black, Dolezal became widely notorious in 2015 when it was uncovered that she had been presenting herself as a black woman despite being born Caucasian.

In a recent Instagram update, the 48-year-old disclosed that she had surgery to excise a stage 1 melanoma. She emphasized that she would abstain from sunbathing in the future as a preventive measure.

Dolezal mentioned that the procedure served as a challenging yet humbling reminder of the long-term effects of sun exposure, compounded by her upbringing in a family that did not prioritize sunscreen use.

To keep her tan, Dolezal has opted for drinkable tanning drops as an alternative to laying in the sun.

‘They have carotene in them and I know that there’s an old tradition to drink carrot juice and beet juice, and it’s supposed to stimulate your melanin,’ she explained.

Carotene is a photosynthetic pigment that’s found in carrots and sweet potatoes. 

It can cause an orange tinge to the skin when ingested, so various companies now sell carotene as an ingestible tanning product. 

After being exposed as a race faker in 2015, 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 Tucson, Arizona, but was sacked when her side hustle as an OnlyFans creator was exposed.

Dolezal’s OnlyFans page was launched in September 2021 and was reportedly going to feature ‘foot photos’, hair tutorials and fitness routines.

However, it later evolved to feature more explicit content, including sex tapes.

She is now training with the Sexology Institute to become a certified sex coach. 

‘It’s a really great, rigorous, academic program,’ she said in a recent social media post.

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 Eastern Washington University.

In 2015, a local news reporter in Washington ‘outed’ the Montana-born Dolezal after revealing her 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’ or ‘trans-black’ and has said she did nothing wrong in not correcting ‘assumptions’ that she is black.

Dolezal tried to rebuild her image with a Netflix documentary in 2018, The Rachel Divide.

She then shared more details of her story by writing a memoir called In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World.

She now hosts her own podcast called TradPro, which is aimed at left-wing progressives who want to pursue a more traditional lifestyle.

‘TradPro is a peaceful resistance to the idea that those who choose a traditional role must be religious and conservative,’ a blurb for the podcast reads.

‘Empowering individuals to choose homemaking, caregiving and empathetic advocacy without stigma.’

The podcast also aims to ‘extend homemaker/feminine roles to cis women, trans women, femme men & any individual who finds purpose and fulfillment in this role.’
