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 – 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…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

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…

Maryland’s 29% Promise — Measured by Results, Not Rhetoric Before Minority Business Enterprise became a program, it was a fight. It was leaders like Parren J. Mitchell, who secured federal minority set-asides not for applause, but for structural access to public contracts long denied to Black-owned firms. MBE was not created for branding. It was created to correct exclusion. In that spirit, BMORENews launches the first annual Maryland State MBE Accountability Scorecard — a data-driven look at where Maryland stands relative to its own benchmark. This is not about personalities.This is about performance. The Benchmark: Maryland’s 29% Standard Statewide MBE…

As filing deadlines pass and campaigns heat up, integrity, financial discipline, and protection of Black institutions must outweigh polish and performance. (ANNAPOLIS – March 1, 2026) – As time proceeds unforgivingly, one cannot help but notice the tendencies of the human heart — what it truly desires when it says it wants to run for office. We have seen this movie before. The seasoned politician grows comfortable in the seat. A young, ambitious challenger arrives — polished, articulate, camera-ready. The upset victory. The celebration. And eventually, the cycle repeats. Yesterday’s reformer becomes today’s establishment. But beyond the speeches and tailored…

In a recent conversation, I made a statement that raised eyebrows: Baltimore has some of the most politically astute citizens in America. Look no further than Legislative District 45. More than a dozen Democratic candidates have filed for Central Committee alone. That level of engagement is not accidental. It reflects a community that understands power — not just at the top of the ballot, but inside the party structure itself. That is political literacy. That is civic awareness. That is Baltimore. Meanwhile, In Baltimore County… Contrast that with Baltimore County. There are competitive races in Councilmanic Districts 2, 3, and…
