Now, on top of all her “natural” hair endeavors, the former NAACP leader has now given herself a super Afrocentric name, just to really drive the point home. Rachael has legally changed her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo.
Rachel filed the docs for the official West African name change in Washington State. According to Mail Online, “Nkechi” is short for Nkechinyere which means “gift of God” in the Nigerian language of Igbo. Meanwhile, Diallo comes from the Fula people of West Africa and means “bold.”
So Rachel says she’s a bold gift of God, huh? Well if you don’t believe it for yourself, who else will, right?
