Rachel Dolezal, the woman who was outed as being white after pretending to be a Black woman for years — has said that people still won’t hire her.
“What I really wish is that people could see me more for who I am than the what,” Dolezal told Tamron Hall. “I’ve always identified racially as human, but have found more of a home in Black culture, in the Black community,” Dolezal added.

Dolezal lost her job as an Africana Studies professor at Eastern Washington after the scandal.
“After not having a job for six years, I’ve had to create my own job and find ways to provide for my children. I started with applying for all the things I was qualified for and after interviews and getting turned down I even applied to jobs that didn’t even require degrees. Being a maid at a hotel, working at a casino. I wasn’t able to get any of those jobs either.”
“When there’s so much negativity on just a Google Search or Wikipedia is even inaccurate about your life story, and you have to direct people to the only place my true story lives is in my book In Full Color. People aren’t going to go seek out my book if they’re just looking for an employee,” Rachel said.
