The giants who built Minority Business Enterprise didn’t act like this. Not one of them. (ANNAPOLIS – March 8, 2026) – I was there. At the very first MBE Night in Annapolis. Helped promote it, in fact. I know what it was built on. I know who was in the room. I know the spirit that animated it — a spirit that came directly from the giants who spent their lives fighting to open the doors of economic opportunity for Black and minority business owners in Maryland and across this country. Which is why what I am watching unfold right now…
(WASHINGTON, D.C. – January 20, 2026) – BMORENews.com has quite possibly the most comprehensive digital video library covering Maryland politics from a melanated perspective over the past 16 years.

(BALTIMORE – January 17, 2026) – Over the past half-century, Black families moving out of the Liberty Road corridor have evolved into a significant portion of Baltimore County’s tax base. Baltimore County got the best of Black Baltimore – families who simply wanted better schools and safer neighborhoods. Over time, leaders emerged from these communities. Ella White Campbell will always be the matriarch in my book. She was a true leader. Between her and retired Senator Delores G. Kelley, these queens set the bar for progress. Both educated the community on how to get what they want. After all, a…
(BALTIMORE – January 17, 2026) – Upon hearing the news, it took at least a day to find some calm. My spirit was vexed indeed. I was thumbing through my contacts, wondering who would hear my pleas for help. “Don’t allow this school to close,” I texted fervently. My soul was enraged. All I could think to do was pray. And text. And pray. And text again. The Governor said he was trying to respect the boundaries, for surely this is a test of the will of the people. Yes, we once had Bluford Drew-Jemison School where our boys could…
Dunbar High, Coppin State, Hopkins Alumna Brings Unmatched Law Enforcement Credentials to 2026 Race (BALTIMORE – January 13, 2026) — In what promises to be one of the most closely watched local races in the 2026 primary election, Assistant Sheriff Sabrina Tapp-Harper has emerged as a formidable challenger for Baltimore City Sheriff, bringing three-and-a-half decades of law enforcement experience and a track record of breaking barriers in a traditionally male-dominated field. Tapp-Harper, a Baltimore native who graduated from Dunbar High School before earning her Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Coppin State University and a Master’s in Applied Behavioral Science…
(BALTIMORE – January 12, 2026) – Dear Constituent: Now that we have closed the chapter on 2025, I wanted to share a brief snapshot of the work that I have done over the last year to return monetary relief back to the people of our congressional district.

“It is time for the story of the hunt to be told from the perspective of the hunted.” – Wendell Phillips, introduction to Frederick Douglass’ Narrative Outsider’s Attempt to Dictate Northwest Baltimore Politics Shows Stunning Disrespect (RANDALLSTOWN – January 6, 2025) – There has been an attempt made on the character and integrity of the Northwest Baltimore County community by outsiders seeking to steal favor.

(COLLEGE PARK, MD – December 24, 2025) – Grades are in, and I aced all three classes. But for the grace of God and some serious determination. Saturday morning classes were the most challenging for me, especially hiking it all the way to College Park. And you want to be fresh for class. So, that means discipline must play a role on Friday nights. After all, this is a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program ranked among the best in the nation. To say the least, it is a humbling experience to walk the halls of the Robert H. Smith…
