"Joy is a radical act," Black Lives Matter alleged. "As a practice and as an experience, joy is something that can heal and sustain us when times are tough. But joy also provides opportunities to explore the possibilities beyond the limits of our daily lives."

Black Lives Matter, which is under scrutiny over the misuse of donation funds, said the 6,500-square-foot mansion will be used for fellows who wish to learn how to be joyful during the "challenges of the modern world."

"Creating opportunities for joyful expression is increasingly necessary but often few and far between," the organization claimed. "The Black Lives Matter Global Network seeks to change that with a new creative fellowship program."

It is unknown why Black Lives Matter believes the $6 million California mansion is suited for the fellowship rather than a less convenient location with a glamorous cost. But the organization claims the house will operate as a living space for those seeking joy and and "communal space for collaboration," which includes a garden space for artists who wish to utilize it for dreaming, meditating, and building joy.

"Black Lives Matter recognizes the power of arts and culture to dismantle white supremacy and bring us closer to achieving full liberation not just here in America, but across the globe also," Black Lives Matter stated to NewsOne.

In 2021, Breitbart News reported that Patrisse Khan-Cullors, one of the co-founders of the Black Lives Matter movement, bought four homes over the past several years.
