The Glover Report

(BALTIMORE – April 29, 2026) – When Bishop John L. Bryant shows up for your ribbon-cutting, you know you have arrived. But hold on — is that Imam Earl El Amin, too? It sure was, as dozens of fans and supporters — including the young men from Uncle T’s youth program — gathered Sunday afternoon for the 2:30 pm ribbon-cutting at Kevin Scott’s newly-renovated, two-story office building on West Mulberry Street in downtown Baltimore. Senator Antonio Hayes and Downtown Partnership’s Shelonda Stokes were both on hand. Kevin Scott’s Benedetto Haberdashery got the welcome it deserves. For 25 years, Kevin has sold…

We Got It Wrong. The Video Stays.

(BALTIMORE – April 4, 2026) — A couple of days ago, a man was shot near Pennsylvania Avenue behind The Avenue Market. BMORENews was on the scene. Initially, community reports suggested the man was unarmed. Based on that, we mislabeled some of the footage. We have since learned — and can confirm — that the man was, in fact, armed with both a gun and a knife. We correct that here. Now let’s deal with the bigger issue. Because while the caption was wrong, what unfolded — in the streets and in the comment section — was very real. I…

The Business of Comedy: Why I Respect It Too Much to Call Myself a Comedian

After years of studying stand-up, media strategy, and the grind behind the laughs, Doni Glover breaks down what separates real comedians from casual entertainers—and why discipline, systems, and business acumen matter just as much as being funny. (BALTIMORE – April 1, 2026) — While I have my comedic moments on the podcast and TV show, I am not a comedian. And that’s intentional. I watch comedy regularly—not casually, but deliberately. I study timing, delivery, audience engagement, and how comedians build their brands across platforms. And the more I watch, the more I understand: this is not just entertainment—it’s a business.…

Black Unity or Bust: The Stakes of Baltimore County’s June 23rd Election

(RANDALLSTOWN – March 27, 2026) – I have to be honest. I’m not just saddened — I’m alarmed.What I’m hearing from some leaders in Northwest Baltimore County right now sounds less like strategy and more like disunity at the worst possible moment. On June 23rd, Baltimore County voters face a historic crossroads. For the first time ever, a non-white male candidate has a real shot at leading the county. Given everything people of color have built and contributed here, this moment is long overdue. Moments like this don’t come often — and when we mishandle them, we pay for it…

The Westside Is Building: Black Wall Street MILFORD MILL Brings Energy, Enterprise, and Community to Randallstown

BLACK WALL STREET MILFORD MILL | BMORENEWS.COM (RANDALLSTOWN, MD – March 22, 2026) — There are events you attend. And then there are events you feel. Black Wall Street MILFORD MILL was the latter. Held at IQ Bar & Grill on Liberty Road — owned by entrepreneur Donovan Murphy — the gathering brought together a room full of builders, believers, and some of Baltimore County’s most engaged community voices. The energy was palpable from the moment you walked in. Prayer opened the program. Positive vibrations filled the space. And for a few powerful hours, Northwest Baltimore County felt exactly like…

Baltimore County: A Wake-Up Call for Black Voters

(BALTIMORE COUNTY – March 16, 2026) — Admittedly, I am hard on my Baltimore County brethren. Why? Because time after time, I receive phone calls asking for help — political advice, strategic insight, introductions, or media coverage. And yes, I help when I can. But I have also tried to push something equally important: self-empowerment. Yet somehow, incredibly, we keep returning to the same place. Let me also be clear about something. I’m a Baltimore City guy. Always have been. City all day. But much of my family lives in Baltimore County, and I’ve spent plenty of time out there…

INDIGENOUS Series: Albert Perry, Henrietta Lacks, and What Science Owes Black People

TUNE IN TO THE INDIGENOUS SERIES ON YOUTUBE (BALTIMORE – March 15, 2026) — Sometimes history hides in plain sight. Sometimes it lives quietly inside the human body — waiting for science to catch up to what our ancestors already knew. Two Black Americans — separated by time, circumstance, and geography — each reshaped humanity’s understanding of itself. Neither asked for the role. Neither was compensated for it. And for far too long, neither received the recognition they deserved. Their names were Albert Perry and Henrietta Lacks. And their stories are not just about science. They are about who gets…

A New Housing Push Could Reshape Baltimore — From City Hall to Annapolis

Mayor Scott’s zoning overhaul and Governor Moore’s statewide housing bill signal a major shift in how Maryland approaches development. (BALTIMORE – March 15, 2026) – For months, Baltimore residents have been debating a controversial zoning proposal at City Hall that could allow single-family homes to be converted into multi-unit buildings. But while that fight continues locally, a second housing plan moving through Annapolis could accomplish many of the same goals statewide. Taken together, the proposals — one from Mayor Brandon Scott and another from Governor Wes Moore — represent one of the most significant shifts in Maryland housing policy in decades.…

Inside Annapolis: District 10 Politics, Unity, and the June 23 Primary

BMORENews Founder Doni Glover reports from Annapolis as the District 10 delegate race shifts and Northwest Baltimore County voters prepare for a pivotal election. (ANNAPOLIS – March 10, 2026) – There’s nothing quite like popping up in Annapolis during Maryland’s legislative session. The 90-day Maryland General Assembly session is relentless. The state’s 47 senators and 141 delegates debate roughly 2,500 bills affecting everything from energy costs and public safety to education funding and economic development. It is serious work. And on any given day, Annapolis becomes a meeting place for lawmakers, advocates, community leaders, and everyday Marylanders determined to ensure…

MBE Is Not to Be Pimped for Political Purposes

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…

ALIGNED: My DBA Journey at the University of Maryland

BMORENews founder Doni Glover reflects on his first year as a doctoral candidate at UMD’s Robert H. Smith School of Business — and the divine alignment that brought him there. (COLLEGE PARK, Md. – March 7, 2026) — If I had to describe my experience in the Doctor of Business Administration program at the University of Maryland in a single word, that word would be: alignment. From the very first day on campus at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, I knew God had opened a door no man could close. And I am grateful — deeply, profoundly grateful…
