Still no word if she has assigned a gender to the baby to be.
Via NY Daily News:
Outed white woman Rachel Dolezal said she plans to name her son after African-American icon Langston Hughes, according to a report.
Dolezal, 38, revealed in August that she had gotten pregnant amid the outcry over her claims that she is black. She resigned from her position as the president of the Spokane, Wash., chapter of the NAACP after a Spokane TV station exposed her as the daughter of a white couple in June.
Dolezal, who now works as a hairdresser, declined to discuss the expected baby’s father but explained her choice of names in an interview with Vice on Monday.
“I’m naming him Langston because of Langston Hughes’ ‘Mother to Son’ poem,” Dolezal said. “Life hasn’t been easy for me at all, but I keep going. I’m still climbing, so don’t you sit down and stop. You keep going, and I want that to be a lesson for all my sons.”[…]
Dolezal defined herself as “transracial” in a silence-breaking interview on NBC’s “Today” show. She has one biological son who is a teenager and a 21-year-old brother she adopted.
Dolezal told Vice a third of her friends no longer talk to her and choked up while recalling her birth in a teepee in Montana and her strict religious upbringing.
“I’ve struggled with depression to the point where I wonder if it’s even in my kids’ best interest for me to stay around,” Dolezal said. “I feel like I’m a liability to my own children.”
