Dickerson reportedly took money raised through the Oklahoma BLM organization and used it for her own personal benefit.

The group raised millions of dollars since 2020 on the back of controversy over the killing of George Floyd, supposedly to use to bail accused criminals out of prison.

She also spent "at least $50,000 in food and grocery deliveries for herself and her children, a personal vehicle, and six properties in Oklahoma City deeded to her or to a company she controlled."

She is not the only BLM leader to face accusations of using the movement for her own gain (despite the Marxist roots of Black Lives Matter). The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation also took advantage of donor largesse several years ago.
