BLM chapter leader calls for investigation into founder Patrisse Cullors finances after she allegedly bought a few million-dollar estates
The leader New York City’s Black Lives Matter chapter is calling for an investigation into BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors. This investigation comes after a series of million-dollar real estate purchases she’s made.
Cullors, 37, has reportedly bought four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the U.S. according to The New York Post, including property in a mostly white neighborhood of Topanga Canyon in Los Angeles County for $1.4 million. The organization reportedly brought in $90 million in donations in 2020. Therefore, now some people want to know if or how Cullors is paid by the organization. Also how much she has contributed to charity, according to Daily Mail. Hawk Newsome, the head of Black Lives Matter Greater New York City, is calling a investigation into Cullors’ finances.
“If you go around calling yourself a socialist, you have to ask how much of her own personal money is going to charitable causes,” he told the Post.
“It’s really sad because it makes people doubt the validity of the movement and overlook the fact that it’s the people that carry this movement,” he added.
In addition to the Topanga Canyon property Cullors and her wife, Janaya Khan, also own a “custom ranch” on 3.2 acres in Conyers, Georgia that boasts an airplane hangar. The estate purchased the property last year for $415,000, according to the report, two years after the publication of Cullors’ best-selling book, “When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir.”
The Post alleges in recent years, Cullors paid $510,000 for a three-bedroom home in Inglewood, California and in 2018, she dropped $590,000 for a four-bedroom home in South L.A.
In October of last year, Cullors agreed to “a multi-platform” deal with Warner Bros. Television Group, in a statement released at the time she said she would help produce content for “black voices who have been historically marginalized.”
