Isobel learns about the roots of BLM, what drives Garza in her life-long pursuit of activism and organizing - and, importantly, what’s next for Garza as she fights for a more equitable world.

Are we gonna ignore how she bought mansions with the donation money?
-
She should be in prison for fraud.
-
This women makes me sick... literally she sold her own people out... how she isnt locked up boggles my mind
-
Scammed the entire black community and bought mansions and then did literally nothing to help them out in return. Got to give her props for that
-
She wants HERSELF to be powerful and influential. She doesnt care about her people MORE than she cares about herself.... her personal life reflects this
-
Am i seriously the only person who heard this lady say some lives matter more than others?? Unbelievable
-
"They dont care about you. The only thing that they care about is their mansions, their money and THEIR life. Not yours"
-
All respect lost to vice for not asking the questions we all want to know
-
Same issue with most journalists. Refuse to ask any questions that condemn guests actions.Buying multiple homes with donations and harm BLM has caused should have been addressed.
-
BLM sure loves equity $$$
-
The mere fact that she is not facing any charges proves the existence of black privilege.
-
what she did was fraud and she should be in prison.
-
Her passion is $$$$$
-
What a horrible person and shame on Vice for making this fluff piece.
-
Guess most people didn’t realize that BLM actually stands for “Buy Large Mansions”.
-
“This movement is bigger than me.” That’s crazy considering the donations made you rich. You took advantage of your own people.
-
She need to move in a house with Jussie Smolette and Carlee Russell Yall jus made our community look foolish
-
This is the definition of a puff piece. "Fearless reporting?" My 🍑
-
Where is the MONEY!? That's the only question you should ask this woman.
-
She’s lived a far more privileged life than most.
