(BALTIMORE – July 1, 2026) — Curtis Dunham is a man who has earned his stripes — and then some. A Baltimore native who grew up in the rough streets of the city, Dunham refused to let his environment define his destiny. He survived a neighborhood that claimed many, navigated the prison system, lost a son, and still came out standing — and smiling. “I just don’t break,” he says simply. “I just started working.
