“We’re supported by the people. So we deliver news and stories of the people, the ones who are mostly overlooked and forgotten, and our drivers are literally the driving force to making that happen.” — Eze Jackson
Working on this project with @baltimorebeat earlier this year was a reminder of why local journalism matters. Amplifying local stories and lifting up voices that often go unheard is a privilege and a necessity. This is one of my favorite pieces I’ve ever had the opportunity to create, highlighting the power of accessible, independent reporting and the dedication to reaching every part of our city with stories that resonate and matter.
Thank you @ezewriter for bringing me in and trusting me with this. And a huge shoutout to @_kinesthesia for making the beat (no pun intended) that elevated the emotion and depth of this piece. Here’s to the power of storytelling and our shared humanity and resilience. 💜🫡
A story that starts in Baltimore, a legacy preserved in Baltimore.
Watch Pratt President & CEO Chad Helton sit down with @dwatkinsworld , and @carmeloanthony to talk about why they chose the Pratt as the official Melo HQ.
Together they talk about the significance of the Pratt Library, focusing on the importance of civic engagement in our community.

“Big baffling behaviors
Pain from being pretty
Lit by flames of aura
Blue and orange city.
How the soaring oaths,
Of love do disappear.
They fear the sight of beauty,
Running far, not near.
I’m here in my belonging.
We’re here so long the awning
It’s closing on our longing
As shadows come and go.
The figures glide and slither
Together? No, they wither.
Alone like us
For us is ever
Seeing through and to,
You spark a glimmer,
Eyes mark a shimmer,
I see a soul so true.
Forever for
There’s more
So sore
Stop aching to and fro.
Not low nor lot
I’m got
You’re got,
In friendship
We are all we’ve got
For now,
For magic, for love.”
