Black Lives Matter co-founder criticized for buying multiple mansions resigns to focus on book & TV deals
Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors is leaving after nearly six years at the top spot, but insists her departure has nothing to do with recent controversy over her real-estate purchases.
Cullors, 37, announced on Thursday that she will be “transitioning” from her role at BLMGNF, and focusing on a book and TV deal, according to the New York Post.
“I’ve created the infrastructure and the support, and the necessary bones and foundation, so that I can leave,” she said. “It feels like the time is right.”
After almost 8 years, we say see you later to the last of our founders, Patrisse Cullors, who's served BLM whole-heartedly. We reflect on the impact Patrisse had on BLM, & we are in deep gratitude.Patrisse, we are in awe of you always. #ThankYouPatrisse
