(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…

(BALTIMORE – June 27, 2025)—Ashburton stood tall this past Saturday to honor a true giant in Baltimore’s Black history. Herbert “Herb” Brown, a centenarian, veteran, entrepreneur, and architect of political progress, was celebrated by unveiling a street bearing his name. Renaming a block to Herb Brown Way marked more than a tribute. It marked a legacy. Mr. Brown served his country in World War II before returning home to serve his people. He made history as the founder of Mondawmin Travel Agency, the first full-service Black-owned travel business in Maryland. At a time when Black travelers faced roadblocks and redlining,…

(BALTIMORE – June 13, 2025) – The Bottom Line:Wearing hair weaves does not directly cause cancer. However, many Black women use chemical relaxers, straighteners, and adhesives in combination with weaves that may contain harmful substances linked to health risks, including certain cancers. Why This Matters Black women are more likely than others to use chemical hair products from an early age and more frequently. Some of these products contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (like parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde) linked to higher cancer risks. A 2022 NIH study found that frequent use of hair straighteners was associated with a doubling of uterine cancer risk…
