(BALTIMORE – August 2, 2025) – Greetings. 你好. Namaste. Hola. Bonjour. Salaam alaikum. Nomoshkar. Olá. Shalom. Здравствуйте. I write to you today with humility and respect — and with deep concern. Because despite what you may see on your screens, most of the people I know are nothing like President Donald Trump. I imagine the world watches with disbelief as this man — and those who follow him — dismantle civil rights, slash programs like Medicaid, and insult allies without a second thought. It’s disturbing. It’s disgraceful. And it’s dangerous. And yet… here we are. Despite years of warnings, despite his cruelty, racism, and public misogyny, millions still voted for him. Only now, with democracy unraveling and global trust shaken, are some Americans waking up to what’s been obvious all along. That’s what we call cognitive dissonance: when the truth is right in front of you — but it’s too painful to accept. Across the world, cultures may differ. But respect is a universal language. It costs nothing. And it means everything. I felt that deeply when I watched Vice President J.D. Vance publicly berate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It was stomach-turning — not just the words, but the complete lack of dignity. To disrespect a man defending his nation against tyranny? That’s not leadership. That’s not America. At least, not the America I was raised to believe in. Where I’m from — Baltimore — you learn respect early. It’s taught at home. It’s reinforced in the streets. Give it, and you’ll likely get it. Disrespect someone, and there are consequences. That’s why I speak out now. Because silence is not an option. Frankly, I believe the group most deceived in all this were white women voters. They knew who Trump was. The “grab ‘em” tape, the lawsuits, the vile rhetoric — it was all out there. Yet many still chose him over Kamala Harris, a poised, prepared, and principled leader. Why? Perhaps the legacy of eight years under a Black president was more than some could handle — and the idea of a Black woman in charge was too much. It’s a question we as a nation need to face. Because America has never truly dealt with its original sin: slavery — and the systemic racism that still follows. And now, we’re led by a man who canceled Martin Luther King Jr. Day, mocked a teenage climate activist on the world stage, and whose own wife often appears unwilling to even stand beside him. Let’s not forget: this is the same man who incited a deadly insurrection on January 6, 2021 — one of the darkest stains on our democracy. So, to the rest of the world, I say this plainly: we are not all Trump. There is still goodness here. Still courage. Still people fighting every day to uphold the ideals this country claims to stand for. As my mother always said, “Nobody is better than you — and you’re no better than anyone else.” That’s the America I…

(BALTIMORE – June 13, 2025) – Lyle Muhammad introduced me to Brother Naba’a Richard Muhammad, a Baltimore native, around 1999. I had just begun writing for the Afro and the Baltimore Times and sought an opportunity to spread my wings even further with the Final Call Newspaper. As many in the news industry know, Brother Richard was the longtime Editor-in-Chief. I have consistently concluded that this is America’s most prominent Black newspaper, if not the world. For the uninitiated, The Final Call is one of the most valuable resources we have as Black people in America. After all, whoever controls…

(BALTIMORE – June 13, 2025) – The Bottom Line:Wearing hair weaves does not directly cause cancer. However, many Black women use chemical relaxers, straighteners, and adhesives in combination with weaves that may contain harmful substances linked to health risks, including certain cancers. Why This Matters Black women are more likely than others to use chemical hair products from an early age and more frequently. Some of these products contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (like parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde) linked to higher cancer risks. A 2022 NIH study found that frequent use of hair straighteners was associated with a doubling of uterine cancer risk…

(BALTIMORE – June 11, 2025) – Supporting Black media isn’t just a good idea—it’s a cultural and political necessity. Without the Black Press, our stories go untold. Or worse—told wrong. They become distorted, flattened, and filtered through someone else’s lens. And when that happens, we don’t just lose control of the narrative—we lose control of our power. That’s why I do what I do. That’s why BMORENews.com exists. We are not a luxury. We are a lifeline. Because when the mainstream media shows up after the smoke clears, we were already there—on the ground, in the neighborhoods, talking to people before…
