Bec (they/them) tells us the infuriating tale of Rachel Dolezal. We learn the story of her life that led up to the infamous clip of her being confronted about her race on tv and the fall out that happened after it aired. Is this a matter of her being delusional and thinking she truly is Black or is this a cry for attention? Is there even a simple answer?

Adam (he/him) then tells us about Violet Charlesworth. After her car was found abandoned on the edge of a cliff locals were worried for her wellbeing. But the more they dug into her history, the more confused they got about who this supposed heiress really was.
