Disgraced “Blackfisher” Rachel Dolezal Is Now a Sex Coach
by Chrissy Stockton · Thought CatalogUpdated 2 minutes ago, September 13, 2026
Nkechi Diallo, the woman formerly known as Rachel Dolezal, has a new title to add to her much-scrutinized résumé: certified sex coach.
On Sept. 12, Diallo announced that she had graduated from the Sexology Institute and launched Bandwidth, an online intimacy and relationship coaching practice. The 48-year-old says she is now certified and accepting new clients.
“Certified. I did it! Woohoo, my office is open!” Diallo wrote on Instagram. She framed the work as deeply personal, drawing on her own experience with burnout and the mental load of raising three boys as a single mother.
The announcement is the latest chapter for a woman who first drew national attention in 2015, when her White parents said she had presented herself as Black. Diallo continued to identify as Black, resigning as president of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington, amid the fallout. She also lost a part-time teaching position at Eastern Washington University.
She legally changed her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo in 2017. Controversy followed her into her next career, too: in 2024, an Arizona school district fired her from a teaching job after administrators discovered her OnlyFans account and determined its content violated employee policy.
