One of the best parts of this work is getting a front-row seat to the greatness of our young people.
Humbled to join Booker T. Washington Middle as they celebrated their 8th grade class. The culture Principal Ford and her team have created is evident

It was a blessing to watch my big brother, Principal Olumiji, be surprised and take in the moment as students, staff, and families celebrated the closing of one chapter and the opening of another.

Principal Brozene, VP Algarin, Mr. Hayes, and the entire Baltimore Design School team—thank you for giving me the privilege of sharing in this moment.
There are few things more inspiring than watching young people walk across the stage

The older I get, the more I appreciate being around young people.
Spent time with the 6th and 7th graders at Hamilton Middle School discussing state government, career pathways, and apparently the never-ending Messi vs. Ronaldo debate.

I've had the privilege of watching these young people grow over the past several years, and now I'm watching them close one chapter and begin another as high school graduates.

Two weeks ago, I stopped by to give Senator Irby a photo he had been asking me about for months—a picture of him, Mr. Horton, and me. He wanted a hard copy because he collected photos and wanted to hold on to the memories of his friend.

Rest in Power, Senator.
In Darley Park and the 4x4 communities, we're creating affordable homeownership opportunities while preserving the character and fabric of the neighborhood

Coach Mack getting Cory Jr. right—locking in the fundamentals.
Hands up. Snap the punches back. Weight behind it.
Discipline builds the foundation… repetition makes it real.

Spent time with 11th graders at Wheaton High School talking apprenticeship, goals, and what it means to dream big.
Thankful for my guy, our moderator José, who led the conversation with ease and helped me navigate the big stage.
