Since assuming leadership, Traoré has embraced a strong anti-imperialist stance,…

(BALTIMORE – July 18, 2025) — In the wake of a mass overdose incident that sent 27 people to local hospitals, BMORENews.com has published an exclusive in-depth feature titled “Penn-North Tragedy Reveals Deep Cracks in West Baltimore’s Response System.” This comprehensive article goes beyond the headlines to expose the systemic neglect, policy gaps, and historic disinvestment that continue to plague the Penn-North intersection — a flashpoint made internationally known during the 2015 Freddie Gray uprising. Despite reports of antifreeze- or xylazine-laced narcotics circulating as free “testers,” Baltimore city officials have remained largely silent. No official press conference has been held…

(BALTIMORE – July 17, 2025) – Last week, tragedy struck West Baltimore yet again. A suspected batch of tainted “testers” — possibly laced with antifreeze or xylazine — wreaked havoc around the Penn-North intersection, long considered one of Baltimore’s most notorious drug corners. The area, made internationally famous during the 2015 Freddie Gray uprising, continues to bear the weight of systemic neglect and generational trauma. On Thursday, July 11, a wave of overdoses hit the two-block radius around Pennsylvania and North Avenues, sending 27 people to the hospital — at least five in critical condition. The incident began around 4…

They don’t just capture events — they document the journey of Black excellence. Take a scroll through, and you’ll find everything from the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards to the Doni Glover 6.0 celebration, from CIAA moments to Morgan State graduations,…

(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…

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…
