Why investigate the BLMGNF?

Susan started investigating the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) in June 2020 after she followed the path required to donate money. After discovering what appeared to be unethical financial transactions, Susan expanded her investigations into the BLM chapters and discovered very disturbing information.

Susan recorded her investigative findings and uploaded them to this YouTube Channel under the BLM Fraud Investigations playlist.

Thank you for your support and encouragement.
