Great blog here, Jason. I can’t well enough express how necessary and valuable an individual’s “Baltimore Story” story can be, especially when those stories, such as yours, speak from the intersection of policy and personal experience. Keep up the great work, and thanks so much for your support of the Baltimore Rapport.
