(OAKLAND, Calif. – July 8, 2026) — Innovation doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people are willing to step into difficult spaces, solve problems, and build something better. That’s why I’m excited to welcome Carlton Williams as this week’s guest on The Black Business Roundtable. Hosted by yours truly, Art “Doug” Blacksher, The Black Business Roundtable streams live every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Eastern / 4:00 p.m. Pacific on the Doni Glover YouTube Channel.

(SOUTHEAST, D.C. – July 8, 2026) – Every day, the world’s attention turns to Washington. Television cameras point toward the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Supreme Court, and the monuments that symbolize American power. Presidents make speeches. Congress debates legislation. Diplomats negotiate. Decisions made in Washington ripple across the globe. Yet on a recent summer morning, some of the most important work in the nation’s capital wasn’t taking place inside one of those marble buildings. It was happening on a sidewalk in Southeast D.C. A line of beautiful Black children walked two by two toward a neighborhood park, laughing,…

(HARLEM, NY – July 8, 2026) – Our history is significant. There are countless stories of melanated people in America that remain untold—from inventions and scientific breakthroughs to medicine, music, art, education, business, and real estate. Time and again, Black Americans have shattered glass ceilings erected by systems rooted in white supremacy, creating institutions and opportunities that transformed not only our communities but the nation itself. When it comes to real estate, however, there is one name that deserves far greater recognition. You cannot begin to tell the story of Harlem—what it has meant to Black America, what it has…

A Fourth of July conversation reconnects two longtime friends and celebrates a firefighter’s journey from public service to entrepreneurship. (CLINTON, MD – July 4, 2026) – Some stories begin with a press release. Others begin with a phone call. This one began more than two decades ago. In the early days of BMORENews, my late mentor in business, William Hopson, founder of IceTech, introduced me to a different side of Prince George’s County. One day, he drove me through Woodmore. I had never seen anything like it. Beautiful homes surrounded a championship golf course. Black families living in million-dollar homes.…

(BALTIMORE – June 21, 2026) – My father, Donald Edward Glover—known to everyone as “Doc Glover”—was a highly skilled mortician and funeral director. He owned Glover’s Funeral Chapel, first located at 1701–1703 Patterson Park Avenue. That was the first place I called home. Later, we moved to 712–714 East North Avenue, between Boone and Homewood, where I lived until about 1974, before returning to my mother’s home at 1526 Moreland Avenue in West Baltimore. Doc Glover was a tough man, but he loved his family deeply. He went to church every Sunday—not what some would call a “holy roller,” but a…

(BALTIMORE – June 18, 2-26) – Baltimore City’s Small and Minority Business Development office (SMBAD) certified $137 million in payments to local small, minority, and women-owned businesses in Fiscal Year 2025 — a dramatic jump from the approximately $26–27 million captured the year prior in FY24. Chris Lundy, speaking on the milestone, was careful to note that the gap between those two numbers isn’t purely a reflection of growth. “We didn’t have the system in place,” he explained, “so there was definitely money that we were leaving on the table that we weren’t able to capture.” Now that the city…
