(BALTIMORE – July 9, 2025) – I’ll be honest — I’ve been doing this since elementary school. From delivering the morning announcements to running my own Afro paper route, to going live on WEAA 88.9 FM with Charlie Dugger at just 15 years old — media called me early, and I’ve been answering ever since. This message is especially for our young people still discovering who they are and, prayerfully, their purpose. Find what you love — then do it like your life depends on it. If you’re a painter, paint everything in sight. If you’re a speechwriter, study the…

(BALTIMORE – Revised July 10, 2025) – Baltimore isn’t just a city of struggle — it’s a city of grit. This town has raised champions: Gervonta “Tank” Davis. Ray Lewis. Cal Ripken. Lamar Jackson. Sam Cassell. Mo’Nique. Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. Jada Pinkett Smith. Angel Reese. What do they all have in common? Baltimore. This city doesn’t fold. It fights. It rises. Baltimore raises people who don’t flinch in the face of adversity. We fight for what we believe in. We don’t quit. We resist — and we win. As long as there is life, there is hope. And as…

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore today announced $50 million in grant awards to support vacant property reduction efforts in Baltimore City through the Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Initiative. The governor also announced a new Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Initiative Support Fund, toward which philanthropic partners have contributed more than $1 million for technical assistance to support awardees. Today’s announcements marks an acceleration of the Moore-Miller Administration’s commitment to addressing the challenge of vacant properties in Baltimore City neighborhoods announced last year through the creation of Reinvest Baltimore. “For this to be Maryland’s decade, it has to be Baltimore’s time,” said Gov. Moore. “We know that if…

(BALTIMORE – July 6, 2025) – For years now, Rondy Griffin has been quietly mastering the media game. In fact, I might’ve been one of his earliest test subjects. Back in the day, he crafted marketing packages for BMORENews during our foundational years. Media, marketing, and advertising come naturally to Rondy—skills that were first sharpened many moons ago at MCI, the legendary telemarketing hub in Towson that gave countless young Black professionals their start. That office was a launching pad for dreams, a proving ground where many, including our late brother Marcellus Anthony Williams (a.k.a. Marty), laid the groundwork for…

Bramble on the next Doni Glover Show, Sunday, 5:30 am, WMAR TV-2  (BALTIMORE – July 5, 2025) – It is with great pride and genuine excitement that I share with our BMORENews audience an exclusive interview with one of Baltimore’s most impactful—and perhaps lesser-known—figures: P. David Bramble. Some may not yet recognize the name, but I’ve known about him for years. He’s the son of Joy and Father Peter Bramble, founders of The Baltimore Times, a newspaper birthed right at their kitchen table on Madison Avenue back in 1986. I cut my teeth in journalism working for both The Baltimore…
