KLAHOMA CITY —

Reverend T. Sheri Amore Dickerson, a well-known activist in Oklahoma City, has been charged federally with wire fraud and money laundering, accused of embezzling funds meant for Black Lives Matter Oklahoma City, according to an indictment released on Thursday.

The U.S. Department of Justice claims Dickerson deposited more than $3 million in returned bail checks into her personal account from Black Lives Matter Oklahoma City's account from June 2020 to at least October of this year.

Some notable expenses the funds covered include recreational travel to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic for herself and associates, at least $50,000 in food and grocery deliveries for herself and her kids, tens of thousands of dollars spent in retail shopping, a personal vehicle registered in her name, and six properties in her name or in the name of Equity International, LLC — an entity only she has control over.

Although, according to the indictment, she claims the church property she purchased back in 2021 was intended to be used as a BLM OKC community center, the property was placed in her own name.

If she's black, her life mattered, so where's the problem here?
