The director of a Black Lives Matter chapter in Oklahoma is facing charges for allegedly embezzling $3.15 million and spending it on luxury Caribbean vacations.

BLM Oklahoma City Director Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson, 52, allegedly stole at least $3.15 million, meant to bail out protestors, then spent it on vacations to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, according to an unsealed indictment from the Department of Justice.

A federal jury charged Dickerson on December 3 with 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering. For each wire fraud charge, she could face up to 20 years in federal prison and up to $250,000 in fines. For each money laundering charge, she could face up to 10 years and up to $250,000, or twice the amount of illegally-obtained property.

Dickerson allegedly used the stolen money, intended for BLMOKC, to pay for “recreational travel to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic for herself and her associates,” six properties in Oklahoma City, a personal vehicle, at least $50,000 in food and grocery deliveries for her family, and tens of thousands in retail shopping. 

The Dallas Express CEO, Chris Putnam, predicted legacy media outlets would bury this story.

“Watch how enthusiastic the far-left, lying, legacy media will be reporting this story,” he posted on X. “Hint – they’ll non-report it.”

The Scheme

Dickerson served as executive director of BLMOKC since at least 2016, and had access to its bank, PayPal, and Cash App accounts, according to the release. The group began raising funds for “social justice” during late spring 2020.

While BLMOKC was not a registered tax-exempt organization, it accepted donations from the Arizona-based Alliance for Global Justice (AFGL). 

AFGJ is an organizing group that sponsors left-wing causes and receives funding from groups like George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and the Tides Foundation, according to InfluenceWatch. It arose from the Nicaragua Network, which supported the violent communist Sandinista regime. 

The group was a “fiscal sponsor” to BLMOKC, according to the release. It required the group only to use funds in accordance with the law and to account for its spending fully.

BLMOKC also took funding from national bail funds, including the Community Justice Exchange, Massachusetts Bail Fund, and Minnesota Freedom Fund – most of which was routed through AFGJ.

“BLMOKC was supposed to use these national bail fund grants to post pretrial bail for individuals arrested in connection with protests for racial justice,” the release reads. 

When the bail funds were returned to BLMOKC, the national groups sometimes allowed it to keep all or some of the money to build a “revolving bail fund.” In total, it raised more than $5.6 million. 

However, from June 2020 to at least October 2025, Dickerson allegedly embezzled millions from the group, according to the release. She also reportedly submitted two false annual reports to AFGJ on behalf of the group, claiming she used the funding only for “tax-exempt purposes.”

“She did not disclose that she used funds for her personal benefit,” the release reads. “The public is reminded that these charges are merely allegations, and that Dickerson is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.”

FBI-Oklahoma City and IRS-Criminal Investigation tracked down this case, while the Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matt Dillon and Jessica Perry are leading the prosecution. 

Dickerson reportedly identifies as a “Black, queer, gender-fluid, fat, associate pastor,” according to The Post Millennial Senior Editor Andy Ngo.

 

DOJ officials began probing the Black Lives Matter Global Foundation, Inc., for potential fraud in October, as the AP reported. The group had taken in more than $90 million in donations.

In 2024, a man from Toledo, Ohio, was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison 2024 for embezzling more than $450,000 from BLM of Greater Atlanta. As the Los Angeles Times reported, a California BLM leader was accused in 2022 of stealing $10 million from the group.
