BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors is seen scarfing down lunch as she goes grocery ... trends now

She's known as the controversial figure who resigned from the Black Lives Matter organization under a cloud of scandal. 

But last week, BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors went virtually undetected as she was seen patiently waiting at the deli counter for her sandwich at high-end supermarket Gelson's in Calabasas. 

As these exclusive candid DailyMail.com photos show, the activist, 40, is now living a low-key, comfortable life in Los Angeles, despite previously claiming she was forced to hire security and drivers for her own safety. 

Cullors, who was accompanied by her young son, was makeup-free and dressed down in a flowy pink Adidas poncho and Crocs for the grocery shopping trip. 

She appeared to know the store well, navigating her shopping cart up and down the aisles as the boy clung on with one hand.

After picking up groceries, the mom and son duo grabbed a table outside the market to eat a late lunch, with Cullors opting for a sandwich. 

The two later packed up and headed to their car with their grocery bags, but were briefly held up after the boy left his iPhone at the table and had to go retrieve it.

The protective mother could be seen standing in the middle of the parking lot and overheard telling her son to use caution and 'look both ways' as he made his way back to the car.

Cullors distinctive mole on her forehead, as well as her various tattoos, including the 'line' tattoo that runs from her chin to her chest and ends with the numbers '818', were visible during the outing. 

She was also wearing the same nose ring she has been seen flaunting on recent Instagram posts.
