(BALTIMORE – September 15, 20025) – Once upon a time, you had to walk into Blockbuster on a Friday night. If the movie you wanted was gone, tough luck. Then came Netflix, shipping little red envelopes to our mailboxes. A few years later, streaming went mainstream — and Blockbuster was history. Netflix wasn’t just about movies. It was about freedom and convenience. Watch what you want, when you want. No late fees, no gatekeepers. Amazon followed with Prime, Hulu jumped in, Disney, Apple, Paramount, Peacock — you name it. The old cable bundle collapsed. Now here we are in 2025,…

(BALTIMORE – September 13, 2025) – I remember when Comcast was all there was. The people in the office sometimes acted snotty. Don’t be late with a bill. It felt like you had to promise your first-born just to keep the service on. I also remember the “triple-play” when Verizon bundled TV, phone, and internet. Again — don’t be late. These titans forgot about customer service. They acted like they were the only game in town. And for a time, they were. But when streaming came along, it booted these stubborn dinosaurs out of the way. That’s called digital disruption —…

(BALTIMORE – September 13, 2025) – I have heard about all I care to regarding Don Lemon coming to Baltimore. And no — I’m not talking about the supporters of my impromptu interview where the camera was actually flipped on me. I appreciate my fellow Baltimoreans who understood the interaction in its entirety. For those with the emotional intelligence to comprehend the stakes at play, I thank you for seeing through the chicanery and grasping my response in full. For one, I have platforms of my own. I don’t need Mr. Lemon’s platforms to speak about the Governor or the…

(HOUSTON, TX – September 12, 2025) — In the growing re-awakening of melanated peoples reclaiming Indigenous identity, one voice has cut through the noise with boldness, research, and fire: Big Chief Topcatz of Houston. His book, I’M NOT BLACK I’M INDIAN: The Miseducation of Black Americans (October 2023), has quickly become a cornerstone text for this new generation of truth seekers. Rated 4.8 stars on Amazon, it challenges everything we’ve been told about Black identity in America. A Bold Claim: “I’m Not Black — I’m Indian” Chief Topcatz is unapologetic: the term “Black” is not who we are. In his…

(BALTIMORE – September 6, 2025) – I had just stepped out of the corner store at Pennsylvania and Laurens when I caught a glance that made me pause. Across the street, right in front of Upton Station, stood none other than Don Lemon with two cameramen. I couldn’t believe it. So I crossed over to confirm:“You’re Don Lemon?”He said yes. Of course, my next question was what brought him to The Avenue. That’s when the cameras flipped on me. In true Journapreneur fashion, I asked for a quick station break so I could grab my own footage. And there I…

(BALTIMORE – August 31, 2025) – I have a confession to make. BMORENews.com did not produce a Black Business Month event this year. Every August, Black-owned businesses around the country are front and center. Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy. And between COVID and the onslaught of the current administration in Washington, D.C., many new Black entrepreneurs have emerged — with sisters leading the way. Black women are the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs in the United States, driving an extraordinary wave of new business creation over the past decade. While they may not yet own the largest share…

Black History did not start nor end with slavery (BALTIMORE – August 29, 2025) – When most American history books introduce Black people, they start at 1619, when “20 and odd” Africans arrived in Virginia. But that narrative is not just incomplete — it is a deliberate erasure. Black presence in the Americas begins long before Jamestown, and Black contributions run far deeper than slavery alone. From the Nile Valley shipbuilders, to West African emperors who launched Atlantic fleets, to the Moors who ruled Iberia, to Black navigators who guided European voyages, to Freedmen whose land and identity were stolen, and…

(BALTIMORE – REVISED – August 30, 2025) – Nobody ever told me that I wasn’t good enough. Not for school. School has always been my happy place. I’ve loved learning since the first grade, when Ms. Williams taught us our vowels. I even loved rainy days because many of the bad kids would stay home, and the classroom felt calmer. In my household, school was the assignment. My parents ran a funeral home. Mom worked in clothing manufacturing and Pops wore a suit and tie daily. Many mornings I rode to school in the Fleetwood — people joke today that…

“What’s the quickest route from Africa to Israel?” one Baltimorean asked another.“Park Heights!” the other replied. (BALTIMORE – August 26, 2025) – In that one exchange, you capture the 41st District in a nutshell — two communities, two cultures, and two visions for the future. Delegate Malcolm Ruff and his “Ruff Riders” made a strong showing last week as he officially announced his candidacy for state Senate in the 41st Legislative District. The launch had all the political fixings: former Sen. Jill P. Carter, City Council VP Sharon Green Middleton, Delegate Scott Phillips, City Councilwoman Phylicia Porter, Chezia Cager, Dayvon Love…
