🫣Some of us ride to escape gridlock. Others create it on Capitol Hill. Guess which one burns more fuel and makes less progress?

What an incredible week celebrating 100 years of WBAL Radio, Baltimore’s & Maryland’s voice for news, conversation, and community since November 2, 1925!

On Thursday, we gathered at M&T Bank Stadium with alumni, colleagues, & special guests to honor a century of storytelling that has informed, challenged, & connected generations of Marylanders.

To stand among the legends who helped build this legacy, & now to add my own voice to it each weekday afternoon, is something I’ll never take for granted.

When WBAL first went on the air in 1925, radios were the size of furniture and Baltimore’s skyline looked completely different. Yet, through wars, victories, heartbreak, & change, this station has always remained the same in one way: committed to truth, conversation, & community.

Here’s to the next 100 years of doing what we do best, giving Baltimore & Maryland a voice!

Some of you know bits and pieces of my family story, I’ve shared a few time over the air. But today feels like a full-circle moment.

29 years ago today, this child of mine came into the world, the one who made me a mom while I was still in college. We celebrated early at the Ravens game on Sunday (what a win!), but today, I can’t help but reflect.

It was just me and him for those first few years, figuring it out together, one late-night feeding and one early-morning class at a time. My parents, who were just 44 at the time and juggling their own careers, stepped in on weekends and nights while I worked. My grandparents filled the gaps during the day while I was in school. It really did take a village.

When I graduated, I packed up our little life and moved to another city for my first job. The pay wasn’t much, just $100 over the threshold to qualify for any housing or childcare assistance. No SNAP, no Medicaid. Just grit, grace, and a whole lot of faith. I found the cheapest apartment in a decent neighborhood and the most affordable childcare, on opposite ends of town, of course. But we made it work.

I truly believe God gives you exactly what you need when you need it, not always what you want, but what will shape you. And this boy of mine? He shaped me. He taught me resilience, humility, and unconditional love before I ever had the title “mom” fully figured out.

Happy birthday to the one who started it all. 💜

Only a handful of democratic governors chimed in on the historic moment that occurred today. Notice anything about Wes Moore’s statement compared to the others?

I also added Bill Clinton’s statement.
