Host Matt Lauer asked: &quot;We can&#39;t talk about the big picture that you have created without talking about the small picture first. Let me just ask you the question in simple terms again because you&#39;ve sent mixed signals over the years. Are you an African-American woman?&quot; She replied: &quot;I identify as black.&quot; The 37-year-old went on to say that she was &quot;drawing self-portraits with the brown crayon instead of the peach crayon&quot; as a child and her identity is a &quot;little more complex than me identifying as black&quot;.

Dolezal, who resigned her position as president of the NAACP&#39;s chapter in Spokane, Washington state, added: &quot;This is not some freak-show, Birth of a Nation blackface performance. This is on a real connected level how I’ve had to go there with the experience.&quot; She expressed regret at in the past not being clearer about her racial identity, but insisted her life had been &quot;one of survival&quot;. The decisions I’ve made along the way, including my identification, have been to survive.
