Passing of Mrs. Margaret L. Jones

(RANDALLSTOWN – February 12, 2026) – It is with deep regret and profound sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, Mrs. Margaret L. Jones, at the age…

Delegate N. Scott Phillips: The People’s Advocate

(REISTERSTOWN – October 31, 2025) – Last night, Delegate N. Scott Phillips gathered his supporters for a fundraiser at a popular cigar lounge in Reisterstown. The evening drew a virtual who’s who of Greater Baltimore as the Northwest Baltimore County delegate gears up for the upcoming 90-day General Assembly session in Annapolis. Phillips has been increasingly active in state politics, weighing in on key issues that affect Maryland’s business community. Most recently, he shared his perspective on the federal freeze impacting Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) — a major concern for small and minority-owned firms. Working closely with the Legislative Black…

BMORENews.com: Telling Baltimore’s Story, One Neighborhood at a Time

(BALTIMORE – October 31, 2025) – In a media landscape flooded with quick takes and distant commentary, BMORENews.com strives to stand apart as a platform that listens first — and tells the story correctly. From West North Avenue to Coppin State University, from the courts of Cloverdale to the corridors of City Hall, BMORENews has built a reputation for documenting the soul of Baltimore: its people, its progress, and its promise. This isn’t just news. It’s a record of resilience. The site’s growing archive — thousands of articles, interviews, and videos — captures the essence of what many call the…

Federal Indictment Reshapes 41st District Senate Race

(BALTIMORE – October 30, 2025) – I guess Malcolm was right. No, not Malcolm X — the other Malcolm. The one from Park Heights. When he told me he was running for State Senator of the 41st, I was skeptical. “Nah, you should run for Delegate,” I said. But he stood firm on his decision. Now, barely three months into the campaign, the sitting State Senator faces a federal indictment. The timing couldn’t be more consequential. Suddenly, Delegate Malcolm Ruff’s Senate bid looks less like a long shot and more like vindication — a mental victory at minimum, but possibly…

ENOUGH: Empowering West Baltimore to Lead Its Own Revival

(BALTIMORE – October 29, 2025) – There are roughly 150,000 children in Maryland living in poverty. For too long, concentrated childhood poverty has existed in neighborhoods across the state — denying many children the ability to reach their full potential. But every child deserves more than just a chance to survive; they deserve the opportunity to thrive. For decades, government programs have tried to reduce poverty without directly listening to the people most affected — and with mixed results. ENOUGH flips that model on its head. The initiative brings together state agencies, local nonprofits, philanthropies, and community leaders with shared…

West Baltimore: Restoring the Work, Restoring the Dignity

(BALTIMORE – October 29, 2025) – Tonight’s West Baltimore Business Meeting at The Mill on North is the fruit of years of quiet labor by committed Baltimoreans who see the bigger picture. You won’t find these people in headlines or viral clips — they’re too busy in the trenches, building block by block, nurturing the next harvest of hope. And every now and then, a leader emerges. Then another. Ten years ago, West Baltimore stood in ashes after the city’s first major uprising in nearly half a century. Smoke lingered at Penn-North. Glass crunched beneath every step. The fire at the…

Restoring Legacy & Dignity

(BALTIMORE – October 29, 2025) – Unbeknownst to many, a cultural revolution is quietly underway in America. It’s been simmering for generations — and now, it’s starting to boil. From Hawaii to California, from Georgia to Detroit, more and more melanated people are tracing their indigeneity, their true lineage. This isn’t just about ancestry websites. People are digging into family records, calling courthouses in other states, and connecting dots that were deliberately erased. What they’re finding is mind-blowing — history we were never taught. I saw this shift years ago when I posted a video on “Black Indians.” It got…
