She sported braids during the interview while sitting in front of a large map of Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, it is really tough, you know, to relive that every day and every week, as you said,\u201d Dolezal said regarding the fact her name is associated with the stories about her pretending to be black. \u201cWhatever the case, if somebody\u2019s name comes up attached to what people feel is a problematic identity, then I\u2019m hashtagged, and there are memes, you know, Kamala Dolezal, all these kind of things that have been created that come my way and I\u2019m tagged in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dolezal, who taught&nbsp;Africana studies at Eastern Washington University until being outed as a white woman, then said she wishes more people could see her \u201cmore for who I am than the what.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Describing herself as a mother, an activist, and an artist, Dolezal said, \u201cWhen it comes to race and identity, I\u2019ve always identified racially as human, but have found more of a home in black culture, in the black community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that hasn\u2019t changed,\u201d Dolezal added.&nbsp;\u201cI\u2019m still the same person I was in May of 2015, I\u2019m still doing the work, I\u2019m still pressing forward, but it has been really tough for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After discussing the fallout from the revelation that she is, in fact, not black, Dolezal explained how she has since struggled to find employment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started with applying for all of the things I was qualified for, and after interviews and getting turned down, I even applied to jobs that didn\u2019t even require degrees, being a maid at a hotel, working at a casino,\u201d Dolezal told Hall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t able to get any of those jobs either,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"After Pretending to Be Black, Rachel Dolezal Opens Up About Life 6 Years Later\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G-ERmy8k3aw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>Dolezal said she faced a disadvantage in the job market because much of the information available about her online is allegedly \u201cinaccurate,\u201d for which reason she plugged her autobiography, \u201cIn Full Color:&nbsp;Finding My Place in a Black and White World,\u201d which was <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2017\/03\/23\/rachel-dolezal-explores-her-blackness-in-bizarre-memoir\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">panned by critics<\/a>. \u201cLike,&nbsp;the only place that my true story lives is in my book,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that people, you know, aren\u2019t going to go seek out my book if they\u2019re just looking for an employee, so it\u2019s been tough for sure, but I have not given up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/remember-transracial-former-naacp-leader-rachel-james-barrett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Remember \u2018Transracial\u2019 Former NAACP Leader Rachel Dolezal?
