(BALTIMORE – July 21, 2023 ) – First, I want to commend Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott for doing a hell of a job with the squeegee kids. His efforts to help them surpass all previous mayors. Great job! But that’s not the story. This is the story: This morning, former Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon noted on Fox 45 that Safe Streets is her baby and that she would use it a bit differently than the way it is being currently utilized. She also told Fox’s Patrice Sanders that she would – if she were mayor – be more transparent about…

Seersuckers, Straw hats, and Black-eyed Susans (BALTIMORE – May 25, 2023) – I went to my first Preakness as an adult back in the 90s. I quickly learned how impactful the Preakness Race is to Baltimore and the world, for that matter. It is a top-tier race of historical significance being the second leg of the Triple Crown. That trio of races includes the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes. Having lived a spell in Park Heights with my cousins – having been a member of The Lord’s Church at 5010 Park Heights Avenue under Bishop Kevia Elliott…

“Connecting Large & Small Businesses to Work Together.” By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – May 12, 2023) – There is no feeling for me like walking into a room full of business people. Pierre Stewart, one of the most excellent networkers on planet Earth, taught me a long time ago how to maneuver in a room with nearly a thousand people. You have a ‘3-minute rule’. Whatever cannot be communicated in that period automatically gets a follow-up date. The goal, after all, is to touch as many key people in the room as possible and then leave, re-group, and begin…

“There aren’t enough people in the US Senate who live like, think like, and look like the people they’re supposed to represent. My Great-Grandma told me, “If you don’t like something, go farther and do better.” I’m proud to say I’m running for the Senate. Let’s go farther together. – Angela Alsobrooks By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – May 9, 2023) – With Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks’ entrance this morning into the Maryland US Senate race for next year political junkies, operatives, and pundits alike are about to have a field day. Last week, Western Maryland Congressman David Trone,…

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On!’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” ― Calvin Coolidge By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – May 3, 2023) – Well, someone finally pulled a “me” on me. How fascinating! Yesterday evening, after recognizing a couple of thousand other people since 2011 in about…

(WASHINGTON, DC – April 30, 2020) – I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mrs. Virginia Ali of Ben’s Chili Bowl. I sat with Washington, D.C. royalty up in the balcony at the Lincoln Theater with her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ali, Marc Clarke, and Rondy Griffin. Written by Dr. Lovall Long and Angelique Long, the play being performed was “The Giz”, a DC-flavored spin on “The Wiz” featuring the ever-favorite sounds of Go-go. The dancers were spectacular and the actors and actresses brought the story to life in a most magnificent way. The audience was glued to their seats, including me. I…

SPECIAL THANKS: Maryland-Washington Minority Companies Association, STEMCITYUSA.com, Kendra Banks, Dr. Wilbert Wilson, Baltimore City Councilman Dr. John Bullock, & Rondy Griffin. By Doni Glover, Publisher (HARLEM – April 22, 2023) – At BMORENews.com, we love Harlem! Of course, we love Baltimore! Baltimore is home. But it’s something about Harlem. It has a certain je ne sais quoi, if you will. From the brownstones – which I absolutely adore to the vibe of the people. Every single Black Wall Street event in New York has been wonderful. From our very first awards summit at the United Nations to Weeksville and Brooklyn…

“Each generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it.” ― Frantz Fanon By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – April 7, 2023) – In light of unprecedented acts of bigotry in America over the past week, a new generation of Black voices rise to the top. LSU star player from Baltimore, Angel Reese, speaks her peace as LSU wins a historic NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship. The world takes notice of her honest delivery, even though no one questions the same competitive nature when men do it. First Lady Dr. Jill Biden subsequently and in unprecedented fashion invited…

By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – March 20, 2023) – The world has lost a giant, but heaven has gained an angel. He was not just the Senior Pastor at Sharon Baptist Church in Sandtown; he was Senior Pastor to Baltimore and the world. There was not a politician who didn’t seek his favor. There was not a Christian who didn’t love his preaching. To his flock, he was revered and adored. He often alluded to his fantastic cooking. No one could do it like A.C.D. He was a friend to the less fortunate, a model for preachers, and a…

By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – March 13, 2023) – I love writing. And I love writers, too. I’ve been writing since the first grade. This passion has ultimately led me to my purpose. My first newspaper gig came in 1994 in my beloved Sandtown community. I gladly accepted the opportunity, thanks to Jerry Cross, and have never looked back. In 2002, BMORENews.com was established to provide a voice for Black Baltimore on the world wide web. So much has happened since then. Technology has changed; business, too. Politics has been transformed. Throw COVID on top of all of that…
