(TURNER STATION – October 8, 2026) – For Arkia Wade, representing Baltimore County’s new District 9 is about more than winning an election. It is about making sure residents have someone on the County Council who listens, shows up, and understands the community from the inside out. Wade says her priorities include creating more opportunities for residents, supporting older adults and young people, strengthening local neighborhoods, and ensuring working families have access to pathways to good-paying jobs. “I want to be a councilwoman who listens to the people she represents,” Wade said. “That means holding quarterly town halls, meeting people…

(BALTIMORE – September 20, 2026) – A woman called me out on Facebook, and I will be honest: She pissed me off. She challenged me over my support for David Bramble, the West Baltimore native and co-founder of MCB Real Estate whose company acquired Harborplace and is involved in major development along West North Avenue. She questioned why people conflate MCB’s interests with those of Baltimore’s Black residents. She pointed out that MCB is not an MBE. She questioned the relationship between Bramble and Mayor Brandon Scott. She even compared Bramble to Ronald Lipscomb. Then she wrote, “Come on, Doni.…

(COLLEGE PARK, MD – September 14, 2026) – Long before artificial intelligence became a part of our daily conversations, The Jetsons gave us a glimpse into the 21st century. The animated television series premiered in 1962 and introduced Americans to a futuristic world filled with flying cars, video calls, moving sidewalks, push-button meals, and robots that handled household chores. Rosie the Robot was practically a member of the Jetson family. For many of us, The Jetsons planted the first seed of what the future might look like. Technology would make life easier. Machines would do the work while humans enjoyed the…

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his own pockets for you.” (BALTIMORE – September 13, 2026) – It is the 800-pound gorilla in the room. It is standing directly in front of us, staring us in the face, yet nobody seems willing to talk about it. Black people are being found hanging across America. We hear the reports sparingly—one from Mississippi, another from Georgia, another from Michigan, and then three in North Carolina. The…

(BALTIMORE – September 5, 2026) – Coming from Baltimore, I am well aware of civil rights history. Not far from my home is Druid Hill Avenue, once a central corridor of Baltimore’s Black community and a hub of civil rights organizing, Black politics, business, faith and journalism. It is part of the foundation upon which generations of Baltimoreans fought for equality, dignity, and political power. Atlanta has a similarly powerful tradition. In fact, Atlanta was one of the most significant command centers of the modern civil rights movement. It was home to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Southern Christian…
