I want to applaud @POTUS for taking another step toward reducing gun violence and making our communities safer. This Executive Order will increase the number of background checks conducted before a firearm sale takes place. #endgunviolence
The EO will also keep more guns out of dangerous hands by increasing the effective use of “red flag” laws, strengthening efforts to hold the gun industry accountable, and accelerating law enforcement efforts to identify and apprehend the shooters menacing our communities.

Baltimore is the only place I have ever called home. All of us know that while we are one city, there are really two Baltimores. #BaltimoreCanBmore
There is the Baltimore that everyone knows and loves which includes the Harbor and Harbor East and Mt. Washington. And there is the forgotten Baltimore where citizens struggle to even have their existence recognized. I come from the forgotten Baltimore.

Growing up in Park Heights, I unfortunately have seen people get shot, encountered bodies, and everything else bad that too many Baltimoreans have to endure. However, it wasn't until I moved to my quiet street in Northeast Baltimore that I became the victim of a violent crime.
On the night of Sept 21st 2009 I was robbed at gun point by two young men as I walked Sir Charles. Until yesterday I had never spoken publicly about that incident and only spoke of it privately to a few. bit.ly/2Lrdkh4
