(BALTIMORE – September 29, 2026) – Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with journalism students at Morgan State University’s School of Global Journalism. When the class ended, Shayla Stephens came up to introduce herself. She followed up afterward, too. That stayed with me. Shayla is a journalism major with a minor in political science and a young woman deeply engaged in Baltimore. Her commitment to advocacy began when she participated in local Black Lives Matter protests. She has continued to serve through food drives and donation efforts. Now she wants to use journalism to tell the stories of people who are too often unheard or spoken for. I was impressed by what she had already done. I was also impressed that she took the first step. In any business, including journalism, follow-up matters. Out of a classroom full of students, two or three came up afterward to ask how they might grow their careers. Shayla was one of them. She saw an opportunity to make a connection, and she acted on it. That is why we will recognize Shayla, one of her classmates, and Professor E.R. Shipp at the next Black Wall Street at Colin’s. The recognition is meant to encourage these students to keep going: speak up, knock on doors, seek out opportunities, and build on every door that opens. I especially want Shayla and the other young women in the program to hear this. American society is often unkind to Black women. Too often, Black people are expected to do extra work just to be seen and taken seriously. I want this award to remind Shayla that she belongs in the rooms she enters and that her voice matters. Shayla, keep taking that first step. Be courageous. Be bold. Dream big, pursue your goals unapologetically, and keep telling the stories your community needs told.

(BALTIMORE – September 8, 2026) – Having completed about a dozen full-length interviews for the Legends of Baltimore series—and given a series of television and podcast interviews—one observation I’ve made is how much pride Baltimoreans take in their high schools. As a matter of fact, one of the first questions we ask is: “What school did you go to?” From that point forward, a true Baltimorean has already started calculating who you are, what side of town you come from, and who you might know. If you’re not from here, don’t worry. It’s a Baltimore thing. I’m sure you understand. Simply…

(BALTIMORE – September 7, 2026) – East Baltimore has its annual Legends Tournament at the Dome. A few weeks later, West Baltimore closes out the summer with the Labor Day cookout at Cloverdale. For me, you could not ask for a better combination. Down on the basketball court, young people compete, develop their skills, and begin building their own reputations. They are the legends to be. Up on the hill, beneath the tree, sit the legends who came before them. Scales. Mr. Rocky. Doc. Stacey Fowlkes. Al Leslie. George Pinchback. Roger Dickens. Timmy Greene. Brother Rasul. These are men whose…

BASKETBALL GOSPEL ACCORDING TO DICKIE KELLY The Dunbar great, playground scoring machine, and Baltimore Bullets draft pick remembers the long road from Turner Station to the edge of the NBA (BALTIMORE – September 6, 2026) — Before there was Skip, there was Dickie. That is not meant to diminish the greatness of Skip Wise, one of the most celebrated basketball players ever produced by Baltimore. It is a reminder that this city’s basketball history did not begin with the names most people remember. Long before Skip electrified crowds at Dunbar High School, Dickie Kelly was already giving Baltimore basketball fans…
