Prosecutors allege the misconduct began during the period when national bail funds allowed BLM OKC to retain portions of returned bail money to build a revolving bail fund or support its stated mission.
In 2022, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, a separate national organization not affiliated with BLM OKC, came under scrutiny after New York Magazine reported that it had purchased a $6 million California property using donor funds.
Internal memos showed senior leaders discussing how to manage questions about the house, which the group said was intended to serve as creative and community space. The reporting ignited debate at the time over financial transparency and oversight within national BLM-associated organizations.
The executive director of Black Lives Matter (BLM) Oklahoma City (OKC) has been charged with wire fraud and money laundering after federal prosecutors say she diverted more than $3.15 million in returned bail checks into her personal bank accounts over a five-year period, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday.
Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson, 52, of Oklahoma City, is accused of routing money intended for the group’s bail fund and social-justice programs into accounts she controlled between June 2020 and October 2025.
The indictment says Dickerson used the money "for her personal benefit," including travel to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, "tens of thousands of dollars in retail shopping," more than $50,000 in food deliveries, a vehicle and six real properties.
According to a DOJ press release covering the indictment, BLM OKC raised more than $5.6 million beginning in 2020, including major grants from the Community Justice Exchange, the Massachusetts Bail Fund and the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

This thieving critter would do great on TV selling Hefty Bags. Look out Jonathan Winter! I bet she’s on EBT too.
String her lard ass up!!! That’s not her money she’s stealing.
Oh my, how usual
BLM...
Buying Large Mansions
HOORAY prosecutors! Tashella looks to be a well fed f’n criminal.
Fraud is a lot easier when you’re recognized as a victim of mean ol’ whitey. There is only one reason for being a victim in America: protected status lets you get away with more shit.
....the Minnesota Freedom Fund.
Emotional eater.
Hope she’s riding in a F-250. Prayers up for the suspension.
I am beginning to see that if it were not for grifting, the Dem party would be irrelevant.
Is anyone surprised at this point?
“BLM OKC raised more than $5.6 million” ... from suckers.
It doesn’t look like that gal missed many meals, despite the white people holding her down.
BLM aka Bring Lotsa Money
Black Lives Matter is a political blight on American society.
BLM must be exterminated.
I’m sure she intended to spread it around in “the community.”
