Joyce Scott’s dreams are women’s dreams
Recently, the Baltimore Museum of Art opened Joyce J. Scott’s retrospective exhibit, “Walk a Mile in My Dreams.” This exhibit, composed of over 50 years of Scott’s work, not only celebrates the rich tapestry of her talent, but also serves as a testament to the power of art and women in fostering dialogue and moving the needle on critical societal issues. At Bank of America, we believe that investing in arts and culture strengthens our communities and promotes cultural sustainability.

Trone and Alsobrooks speak to WTOP about issues facing Maryland and the Senate
There’s less than a week to go before primary day in Maryland — and the top two candidates in a crowded Senate race to succeed retiring Sen. Ben Cardin could be locked in a closer race than many public polls indicate.

Mother’s Day is one day. Here are the gifts we want all year.
Every day should be Mother’s Day. In 2023, I wrote a gift guide tailored to single mothers like myself who don’t have anyone living in their house that’s allowed to reach for high shelves or have their own credit.

Clair Dixon calls himself an MSNBC junkie. And on a recent pleasant weekday evening, in Dixon’s well-appointed Severna Park home, stands a national hero who appears frequently on the liberal cable network, former U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn, who is now a candidate for Congress in Maryland’s 3rd District. “You’ve got to watch out for Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Dixon advises Dunn as he introduces the candidate to the two dozen or so people assembled in the living room. “She’s a hottie.” Dunn, who has an easy-going manner and has turned into an accomplished speaker since he became a public figure a few years ago, doesn’t miss a beat.
