(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…

By Doni Glover | July 4, 2025 (BALTIMORE – July 4, 2025) — From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Doni Glover 6.0 was more than a birthday celebration — it was a testament to love, legacy, and the strength of community. As I step into this new decade, I am humbled by the overwhelming support that poured in from every corner. You showed up with joy, encouragement, and purpose — and together, we created something unforgettable. To our honorees, thank you for your work, your leadership, and your impact. Each of you embodies the spirit of Black Wall…

(BALTIMORE – July 4, 2025) – There’s a young African American brother who lives about half a block away. Around this time of year, he likes to set off fireworks — and I mean serious fireworks. The last one shook our homes like a low-grade earthquake. Now, I’m not trying to single him out. Truth is, around this time every year, many of us light up the skies. I don’t know what fireworks cost, but I imagine folks spend a decent amount. And in Baltimore City, this tradition isn’t limited to the 4th of July — it kicks off about a…

(BALTIMORE – July 2, 2025) – First, let me thank God for allowing me to see my 60th birthday. I don’t take it for granted—not one bit. Some counted me out along the way, but God had other plans. Even in my failures, shortcomings, and bad decisions, His faithfulness never wavered. Without Him,…

A BMORENews Story(BALTIMORE – June 26, 2025) – It was a cold January night. The streets were quiet—except for the distant wail of an ambulance siren. I was somewhere between the TV remote and my computer. It was 2022. The phone rang. To my pleasant surprise, it was Dr. Tyrone Taborn. Cool, calm, and calculated, he asked how I was doing. And then he said something I’ll never forget: he told me he appreciated that I help people. Then he added that he wanted to invest in our digital news efforts—and invited me to serve as the news director for…

(BALTIMORE – June 23, 2025) – If the government can help rich white guys, then it should help everybody else, too. Let’s be clear: Governor Wes Moore’s $400 million investment in Maryland’s Just Communities is not radical, socialist, or unjust. It’s long overdue. And frankly, it’s common sense. These funds are aimed at reversing the long, ugly legacy of redlining, displacement, and disinvestment in Black, brown, and underserved communities across the state. We’re talking about neighborhoods that for decades were intentionally held back by public policy—where highways were dropped into the middle of Black neighborhoods, where banks refused loans, and…

(BALTIMORE – June 22, 2025) – This has been an eventful week. With next Friday’s Doni Glover 6.0 celebration coming quickly, the work doesn’t stop — and neither does the news. Despite the many hats I wear as an entrepreneur and emerging businessman, at heart I am still a journalist through and through. So when stories break, I pay attention. And when they matter to my community, I cover them. Three stories captured my attention this week: First, a young man named Bilal “BJ” Abdullah was shot by police on Laurens Street.Second, State Senator Cory McCray was the subject of…

(BALTIMORE – June 13, 2025) – Lyle Muhammad introduced me to Brother Naba’a Richard Muhammad, a Baltimore native, around 1999. I had just begun writing for the Afro and the Baltimore Times and sought an opportunity to spread my wings even further with the Final Call Newspaper. As many in the news industry know, Brother Richard was the longtime Editor-in-Chief. I have consistently concluded that this is America’s most prominent Black newspaper, if not the world. For the uninitiated, The Final Call is one of the most valuable resources we have as Black people in America. After all, whoever controls…

(BALTIMORE – June 13, 2025) – As I prepare to celebrate a personal milestone — turning 60 — I’m also reflecting on the journey of building independent Black media. It’s never been easy. It’s often demanding. But it’s always been worth it. Since December, we’ve been taping the Doni Glover Show again. Real people. Real stories. Real Baltimore. But life doesn’t always move in a straight line. Between producing the show and finishing graduate school, I needed a break. Sometimes you have to pause to preserve the mission. That’s why Doni Glover 6.0 (https://doniglover60.eventbrite.com/) isn’t just a party. It’s a…

(BALTIMORE – June 11, 2025) – Supporting Black media isn’t just a good idea—it’s a cultural and political necessity. Without the Black Press, our stories go untold. Or worse—told wrong. They become distorted, flattened, and filtered through someone else’s lens. And when that happens, we don’t just lose control of the narrative—we lose control of our power. That’s why I do what I do. That’s why BMORENews.com exists. We are not a luxury. We are a lifeline. Because when the mainstream media shows up after the smoke clears, we were already there—on the ground, in the neighborhoods, talking to people before…
