Rachel Dolezal Is Now a Certified Sex Coach. Here's What We Know

The woman the country knew as Rachel Dolezal has a new name and a new career. Nkechi Diallo announced on Instagram September 12 that she’s now a certified sex coach after completing more than 300 hours of training through The Sexology Institute. The school confirmed her certification, and she’s opened an online practice called Bandwidth, focused on intimacy and relationship coaching.

Diallo, 48, is a single mom of three boys. In her announcement, she said the work is personal, explaining that she knows firsthand what hypervigilance, burnout, and carrying the mental load do to connection. That message may resonate with plenty of parents who are trying to hold a relationship together while running on empty. Before this, Diallo made headlines in 2015 for claiming to be Black despite having white parents, which led to her resignation from the NAACP and the loss of a teaching job. She was also fired from an Arizona teaching position in 2024 over an OnlyFans account.

So here’s the question worth chewing on. Second chances are woven into the fabric of small-town life. Folks around here have watched neighbors lose everything and rebuild from the ground up, and we tend to respect that kind of grit. Does a person’s past define whether they get to help others, or does the work speak for itself? We’d love to hear your take in the comments.
