(BALTIMORE) — I have met a lot of entrepreneurs in my 61 years. I have met people who went from selling incense to becoming millionaires. I have watched people go from a life in the streets to a bountiful life as successful entrepreneurs. I have seen people build businesses in catering, the funeral industry, the church, law, science, and entertainment. And yes, lawyers are entrepreneurs, too. Different industries. Different backgrounds. Different journeys. But I recognize something in people who can see an opportunity, put in the work, and turn an idea into something that feeds a family, employs people, or serves a community. All that to say: I love a hustler. For me, a hustler is somebody who can make something out of nothing. A hustler can also multiply gifts—someone who recognizes talent and knows how to put it to work. But I keep coming back to that first definition: somebody who can make something out of nothing. That takes vision. It takes creativity. It takes ingenuity. It takes dedication. And it takes the willingness to keep going when others can’t yet see what you see. We now live in the age of artificial intelligence. New technology. New challenges. New opportunities. Entrepreneurs are figuring out how to use new tools, reach new audiences, and create new ways to do business. Still, somebody has to have the vision. Somebody has to make the decision. Somebody has to show up and do the work. That brings me to a queen who deserves a moment of acknowledgment: Kimberly Hawkins-Salley, known throughout the community as KSAL. She is about celebrating her people. She educates her people, from babies to adults. She is about entertainment, creativity, connection, and a healthy, happy life. And she is everywhere. Shows. Concerts. Boxing events. Awards programs. She makes her rounds, indeed. If something is happening, don’t be surprised to look up and see KSAL in the building. She does the damn thing. An Empire You Can Walk Into The word “empire” can sound grand. In KSAL’s case, you can visit places, watch programs, and see children whose development has been part of her work for years. Her educational foundation includes God’s Little Angels Learning Center and GLA Academy “School of Excellence.” The learning center dates to 1995; the academy was established in 2003. Together, they represent decades of work with children and families. Think about that. A business that began serving children in 1995 has navigated changing family needs, evolving technology, economic uncertainty, and the daily responsibilities that come with caring for young people. Parents are trusting you with their children. They want to know their babies are safe, learning, and receiving the attention they need. You have to earn that trust again every day. In my earlier interview with Hawkins-Salley, she spoke about the generations of children who have come through her programs. That is a powerful way to measure a business: by the families who stay connected and the young people who carry its lessons into adulthood.…

(BALTIMORE – September 15, 2026) – Miss Catherine B. Orange is a living angel. She was a teacher, mentor, and mother figure to generations of students blessed to enter her classroom. I know I would not be where I am today without her. What made Miss Orange different was that she genuinely cared about us. We knew she cared about our education. 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 8, 2026) – Having completed about a dozen full-length interviews for the Legends of Baltimore series—and given a series of television and podcast interviews—one observation I’ve made is how much pride Baltimoreans take in their high schools. As a matter of fact, one of the first questions we ask is: “What school did you go to?” From that point forward, a true Baltimorean has already started calculating who you are, what side of town you come from, and who you might know. If you’re not from here, don’t worry. It’s a Baltimore thing. I’m sure you understand. Simply…
