(BALTIMORE – September 18, 2026) — Jacqui Cummings is at it again. For nearly two decades, Cummings and her NMConnects.org team have worked to transform West 25th Street into a thriving corridor for Black-owned businesses. Her influence stretches from Charles Street toward Howard Street, with much of her work centered near 25th and Maryland Avenue. Twice each year, weather permitting, that commitment comes alive through the Black Wall Street Expo—an outdoor marketplace featuring several blocks of Black vendors, food, art, music, and community fellowship. The next Black Wall Street Expo will be held Saturday, September 26, 2026, from noon to…

We knew she was pushing us toward excellence, but she did it with a gentle spirit. She appreciated us and treated us as if we were her own children. She still treats us that way today. I was…

(BALTIMORE – September 15, 2026) – Cornell Tilghman. Jackie Green. Leroy Wilson. Denise Sims. Catherine B. Orange has been far more than a teacher to me. She has been a mentor, a friend, and someone I could always talk to. Truthfully, she is like a mother. Ms. Orange was patient with me. She believed in me and helped shape the person I would become. I first met her when she taught me seventh- and eighth-grade English at William Hugo Lemmel Junior High School. Lemmel had a tough reputation. It was the kind of school where you had to know how…

(BALTIMORE – September 15, 2026) – Recently, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and Morgan State University professor E.R. Shipp invited me to speak with a class of undergraduate media students in the School of Global Journalism and Communication. This was not her first time inviting me to speak with Morgan students.

I came bearing a message that I believe every journalism student needs to hear: Prepare yourself for the media industry as it exists today—not as it existed 20 or 30…
