In Memory of Howard Wicker, A Staunch Advocate for Formerly Incarcerated Persons.

It’s time to turn barriers into business plans.

Baltimore is a city rich in creativity, hustle, and resilience—but too many of our residents face economic roadblocks due to past incarceration. The RIDE (Returning Citizens Inspired to Develop Entrepreneurial Ventures) Program at Morgan State University’s EDAC is here to change that.

Join us for the RIDE Entrepreneurship Center Summit, a transformative, one-day event designed specifically for formerly incarcerated individuals who are ready to rewrite their story through entrepreneurship.

This isn’t just another summit. It’s a launching pad.

🏆 The Howard Wicker Awards

Honoring leadership, innovation, and impact among returning citizen entrepreneurs. The deadline has been extended.


Why This Matters

Baltimore—America’s Blackest big city—has experienced the painful consequences of mass incarceration. But we also have more than enough potential, talent, and vision to rebuild lives and communities through business. The RIDE Program helps transform justice-impacted individuals into job creators, changemakers, and leaders.

This is how we break cycles. This is how we build legacies.

Join us. Let’s ride.
