The original Rachel Dolezal says she wants to dine with the Philadelphia activist dubbed the “Palestinian Rachel Dolezal.”
Hannah Gann’s identity — a white Jewish woman busted this week for pretending to be black and Palestinian — shouldn’t distract from her activism, Dolezal insisted to The Post.
“If she identifies as Palestinian or Jewish or white or blue or green or whatever, is she doing good work? Is she making a difference?” said Dolezal, who now goes by Nkechi Diallo and runs a sex coaching practice. “People in activist causes have all different kinds of personal lives.
“But if somebody says something we don’t agree with, or they say something that’s not my truth, we flatten it into everything they’ve ever done is now not valid,” Diallo said.
Diallo is one of the few people in the world to understand what Gann is going through.
The OnlyFans model and sex coach who was once the head of the Spokane, WA, chapter of the NAACP faced a race-faking scandal of her own when she was exposed in 2015 as being white and growing up in Montana after years of claiming to be black.
Diallo said she would want to meet Gann and hear her out before judging her.
“I would be interested in having a conversation with her, maybe over dinner, I would be the only person who wouldn’t tell anybody about that conversation,” she laughed.
When asked what the two would discuss, Diallo said she’d prefer to just listen to what Gann has to say.
“Girl, tell me your story. Headlines are saying one thing, how did you get to where you are and where do you go from here?”
Gann, 34, a mainstay of the City of Brotherly Love’s radical activist scene who led numerous anti-Israel protests in Philly public schools, was forced to confess Monday that she is a “white woman of significant privilege and wealth” after two local far-left groups questioned her background.
Gann grew up in a $1.8 million home in Falls Church, VA, one of the wealthiest suburbs in the country.
Her father, Hal Gann, is a prominent tax attorney and Yale Law School graduate and her mother, Susan Gann, is a Democratic donor.
Gann has relatives currently living in the West Bank, according to friends who spoke to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The radical history teacher claimed to be Palestinian and Tunisian and would speak with what critics called a “blaccent” during her preachy social media videos, where she sounded off on racism and imperialism.
Gann, who was named “Philadelphia’s Leading Antisemite” on a mobile billboard parked outside the The Workshop School where she taught, would frequently be seen seemingly wearing heavy bronzer, hoop earrings and long acrylic nails to further her disguise.
Diallo said she first learned of Gann when people kept asking if she was her cousin.
She rejected any comparisons between them, saying that Gann was more reminiscent of former George Washington University associate professor Jessica Krug, who lied about being black and claimed that mental illness was to blame.
“Hannah Gann sounds more similar to Jessica Krug than me,” she said.
Gann did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
