Mayor Scott opens up about growing up in Park Heights, navigating personal loss, and how his lived experiences shaped his decision to lead differently. We talk about Black history, the responsibility of power, and why being unapologetically Black — especially in moments of crisis — is not just political, but necessary. This conversation also dives into Baltimore’s historic reductions in violent crime, what’s actually working statewide, and how Mayor Scott centers Black women, accountability, and healing in his approach to public safety. He shares why mental health support for Black men is a leadership issue, not a side conversation — and why changing outcomes requires changing systems and culture. This is not a soundbite interview — it’s a real conversation about trauma, courage, and the kind of leadership Black communities deserve.
