These span more than five years. They include both short and long videos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Library Vault<\/strong> offers an easy-to-use process for watching videos.  I organized the videos into major sections, each with a specific investigative topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Library Vault <\/strong>includes the results of intensive investigative research. I compiled, documented, and published these findings between June 2020 and December 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Library Vault <\/strong>stores hundreds of investigative reports. I recorded these to tell the truth about the (alleged) fraud committed by leaders of the BLM Movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is very difficult to believe that the BLM Movement\u2019s leadership exploited pain for financial gain. It is unimaginable that they squandered over $90 million dollars. The videos in the <strong>Library Vault<\/strong> can serve as research sources and historical documents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fae31b;color:#fae31b\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WE NEED YOUR HELP!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The one-time fee to access the <strong>Library Vault<\/strong> is only $20. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will apply your investment toward the fees to publish a book entitled: <strong>&#8220;The Truth Matters: The Rise and Fall of the Black Lives Matter Movement.&#8221;<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We chose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palmettopublishing.com\/\">Palmetto Publishing<\/a> to publish the book.

It rallied millions to demand an end to racial injustice and police brutality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind the rallying cries and viral hashtags, questions were raised. Concerns included the organization\u2019s financial transparency and leadership accountability. The ultimate consequential impact was also questioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>The Truth Matters: The Rise and Fall of the Black Lives Matter Movement<\/em><\/strong> is a book that includes comprehensive research. It compiles information showing how the BLM Movement failed its supporters. Moreover, it inadvertently damaged the reputation of Black-led nonprofit organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This book is the result of over five years of investigative research. It examines legal documents, financial reports, and credible online reports. It explores how BLM leaders amassed millions in donations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book also delves into controversies surrounding the purchase of luxury real estate. It also addresses the issue of paying exorbitant salaries to themselves, friends, and family. Furthermore, it discusses the broader implications for grassroots activism in Black communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While acknowledging the BLM Movement\u2019s influence in shaping national conversations on race and justice, this book challenges readers to ask difficult questions like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who benefited from the massive fundraising efforts?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How did the financial scandals undermine the goals?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What lessons can future activists learn from the leadership failures?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, this book exposes the disconnect between the BLM Movement\u2019s stated goals and its financial realities. It serves as a cautionary tale. It also calls for greater transparency in future social justice activism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"coblocks-animate wp-block-paragraph\" data-coblocks-animation=\"slideInLeft\"><strong>PLEASE SUPPORT THE BOOK!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can help with the book publishing fees by subscribing to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/susan-woods-2.kit.com\/products\/the-truth-matters-podcast-membership\">&#8220;The Truth Matters: Podcast.&#8221;<\/a> <\/strong>The monthly <a href=\"https:\/\/susan-woods-2.kit.com\/products\/the-truth-matters-podcast-membership\">subscription fee<\/a> is only $5 for 12 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5606a986c57bdc9b2ec4cb04821ca610 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#04669f\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/susan-woods-2.kit.com\/products\/the-truth-matters-podcast-membership\">Subscribe today &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item\"><details><summary class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__title has-background\" style=\"background-color:#dcdcdc\"><strong>PERSONAL NOTE &#8230; <\/strong><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__content\" style=\"border-color:#dcdcdc\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Personally, I do not derive joy from writing this book. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book has been a \u201cwork in progress.\u201d This began when I tried to donate to the BLM Movement. Then, red flags emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have experience as the Executive Director of two 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Additionally, I am a nonprofit consultant who helps people start, fund, manage, sustain, and reinstate nonprofit organizations. Therefore, I am in a unique position to question the actions of the Black Lives Matter Movement leadership team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I felt a sense of betrayal and anger. I know how difficult it is for leaders of nonprofit organizations to raise money. They strive to offer community-based services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seeing the BLM Movement\u2019s leadership team squander over $90 million was shocking. I felt compelled to expose the transgressions in a book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"coblocks-animate wp-block-paragraph\" data-coblocks-animation=\"slideInLeft\"><strong>PLEASE SUPPORT THE BOOK!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can help with the book publishing fees by subscribing to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/susan-woods-2.kit.com\/products\/the-truth-matters-podcast-membership\">&#8220;The Truth Matters: Podcast.&#8221;<\/a> <\/strong>The monthly <a href=\"https:\/\/susan-woods-2.kit.com\/products\/the-truth-matters-podcast-membership\">subscription fee<\/a> is only $5 for 12 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4010c88f095462693265a78e50fb8a62 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#055f92\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/susan-woods-2.kit.com\/products\/the-truth-matters-podcast-membership\">Subscribe today &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OVERVIEW The Black Lives Matter Movement (BLM) started as a slight rumbling among activists.
