(BALTIMORE – June 14, 2026) – Stop the presses. I need to put down every political story, every Black business feature, every Black Wall Street update — and talk to you directly about something that has been gnawing at me for a long time. The Math Doesn’t Lie. Did you know that people pay $20 every four weeks to access the Baltimore Banner? Twenty dollars. Every four weeks. That comes out to roughly $240 a year — flowing to a news outlet that, in too many cases, paints a distorted, incomplete, and sometimes disrespectful picture of Black Baltimore. And I’m…

(BALTIMORE – May 17, 2026) – One year ago, I was preparing to walk across the stage at Morgan State University for a Master’s degree I had started in 1996. Think about that for a second. Nearly three decades after beginning the journey, I was finally about to finish. Morgan has a program called Morgan Completes You. Dr. Helen Harrison introduced me to it. Dr. Carla Jackson welcomed me with open arms. Dr. Sims, Dr. Bradley, Dr. Metaferia, Dr. Westrick, Kecia — and even the president himself, Dr. David Wilson — poured into me until I crossed the finish line.…

(BALTIMORE – April 13, 2026) – The very first person I remember — a Black man leading Baltimore’s tourism charge — was Carroll Armstrong. I had no idea about his musical background at the time. All I knew was that whenever it came to selling the Inner Harbor and Baltimore’s many gems to convention planners and visitors from around the world, Carroll Armstrong was the man in the room. He carried himself with a quiet authority that said: this city is worth it. Then came Al Hutchinson. Al took Mr. Armstrong’s legacy and built upon it — brick by brick,…
