Well this was bound to happen right?
Not sure if you saw this video that went viral. But James Juanillo was stenciling Black Lives Matter in his San Francisco property. This is where Lisa comes and tries to confront him for stenciling it on the property, and claims she knows the people who live there.
Watch below..
A white couple call the police on me, a person of color, for stencilling a #BLM chalk message on my own front retaining wall. “Karen” lies and says she knows that I don’t live in my own house, because she knows the person who lives here. #blacklivesmatter pic.twitter.com/rOpHvKVwgP

After the video was posted, of course social media did its work. And people picked up on that Lisa Alexander was the CEO of a big cosmetics company, LAFACE.
Who actually works with Birch Box. Oh and they cut ties with LAFACE now.
