Raquel Evita Saraswati resigned from her position as chief equity, inclusion, and culture officer at the American Friends Service Committee on Monday after her mother revealed in February that she was born Rachel Elizabeth Seidel. The committee, a Quaker group that works for a “just, peaceful, and sustainable world free of violence, inequality, and oppression,” confirmed that Seidel had made the “difficult” and “deeply personal” decision to resign from the group in a statement.

“Raquel Saraswati, who is facing public allegations that she misrepresented her background and past associations, has informed us of her intention to separate from the organization,” AFSC spokesman Layne Mullett told USA Today.

The transracial grifter, who since 2004 claimed to be of Latin, South Asian, and Arab descent, is a prominent activist in the Philadelphia area and has rubbed shoulders with Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), and attended an event at the Obama White House in July 2016, according to photos from her deleted Flickr album.
