Hair Weaves, Chemical Hair Products & Cancer Risk: What Black Women Need to Know

(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…

Investing in Black Media: Why DG 6.0 Matters

(BALTIMORE – June 13, 2025) – As I prepare to celebrate a personal milestone — turning 60 — I’m also reflecting on the journey of building independent Black media. It’s never been easy. It’s often demanding. But it’s always been worth it. Since December, we’ve been taping the Doni Glover Show again. Real people. Real stories. Real Baltimore. But life doesn’t always move in a straight line. Between producing the show and finishing graduate school, I needed a break. Sometimes you have to pause to preserve the mission.

TGR: Why Supporting Black Media Isn’t Optional—It’s Essential

(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…
