(BALTIMORE – July 23, 2025) – While I spent my early years in East Baltimore, most of my upbringing took place on the Westside — at the home my mother owned on Moreland Avenue, near Baker Street. She moved there in the early 1950s, back when the neighborhood was mostly non-Black. I grew up in the 1500 block of Moreland, right across from Easterwood Park. No disrespect to the surrounding blocks, but I lived among Black royalty on what I still call the greatest block in the world. Most of us attended Matthew A. Henson Elementary School #29. For me,…

(BALTIMORE – July 23, 2025) – Last week, Walter P. Carter Institute for Leadership & Service announced the official launch of the Community Leadership and Empowerment Program (CLEP) , a free, nonpartisan initiative designed to grow civic understanding, build local leadership, and connect Baltimore residents to the tools of power. Baltimore has long been home to powerful civic movements and neighborhood-based leadership. From tenant unions to cultural institutions, the city has always produced people who organize, resist, and reimagine. What sets CLEP apart, aside from its nonpartisan, no-cost structure, is its founding team: Kristerfer Burnett, former Baltimore City Councilman and longtime…

(BALTIMORE – July 23, 2025) – If we’re serious about building a New Baltimore—one that is just, sustainable, and genuinely inclusive—we must commit to a vision that marries economic development with grassroots political power. That means understanding a critical truth: business innovation and community activism are not opposites—they are allies. We often praise the developers, CEOs, and institutional leaders who are shaping the skyline and economy of our city. Names like Otis Rolley, Mark Anthony Thomas, Shelonda Stokes, and David Bramble are rightly applauded for their leadership and bold business moves. They are the dealmakers ushering in the future. But there’s…
