In the year since the death of
George Floyd, 37-year-old activist and
Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder
Patrisse Cullors has become a household name. Now, she's finally announced—as the last of the three original co-founders to do so—that
she's stepping down from her role as the director of BLM umbrella group, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF). Nevertheless, with massive enterntainment conglomerate contracts and the
tacit endorsement (not to mention
funding) of Big Tech, Cullors is poised to be even more influential in the coming months than she has been ever before.
