Baltimore’s Support System
Welcome to Baltimore where we house an exceeding number of talented entrepreneurs here, throughout the streets of Maryland. It is so many artists, writers, speakers, makeup artist and so much more talent here. But we do not support each other, and that is a problem since we have the ability to change the narrative of it. We have parties and cookouts but not any networking events, so we can get to know each other more. “Your network is your net-worth” We do not have to outdo each other anymore and be in competition no more, instead we should work together more. We need to network and build generational wealth together as a city. The only time we all get together really is at funerals and parties. Why we cant come together like other cities do, and connect with each other more, when Baltimore is way smaller and filled with a lot of talent ? I Always say, “The rappers need to work with photographers, the models need to work with the makeup artist, the actors need to work with the filmmakers and so on.” We all can play a role in helping each other reach the success level that we need. The base of this article is to LET EVERYONE KNOW WE NEED TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER MORE AS A CITY. The talent is here but the support is not. If everyone learns how to support each other then we all will get a seat at the table to eat good financially and provide for our families. Although you do not need extra assistance from others to make it, however that extra support could mean a lot in ways we never knew to somebody who has none at all. For example Atlanta has a good margin percent of entrepreneurs and rappers overcomes the state poverty. Down there I learned when someone make it from the hood they come back and grab more out the hood to put them on a successful ground. But However, In Baltimore we do not help each other. Other people call our city Baltimore, but most people call it the “Crab Bucket.” Because all people do, some is pull each other down and not up. Fredrick Douglass once said during a powerful speech, “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” Meaning that we have to demand our support system back. We must demand that we start helping each other instead of lying and killing one each other.“ We must stand together as brothers or perish together as fools ”- The great M.L.K
When one person becomes successful here in Baltimore there is always someone who comes to bring them down or tries to! That is why we call our city a crab bucket. We need to fix that expeditiously, or the same cycle going to continue to happen. There are very few people who even make it on TV that comes from Baltimore but the same support we gave them; we need our friends and others the same support. If we can come together more than we can break the chains that are placed here in our city. It does not make you weak or less of a person to show love to an individual that you do not know. It is so many standards and protocols that we have here that we need to let go of. If you see somebody needing help and they reach their hand out, look out for them. It cost zero dollars to show love. Get that miserableness and bitterness out of your heart. If your friend has a new idea do not matter what kind it is as long as it makes sense, give them your full support. That same idea that bill bates, Oprah Winfrey, and Jeff Bezos’s and many more had many people laughed at them. Now imagine being a person who was laughing. Do not be one of them, you just never know what seed a person is carrying. See one thing about how the universe works are that that the same energy you give you receive right back. If you support somebody going support, you back. If you are always envious and quick to knock someone down then it is going to come back around. Baltimore let us rise and have the drive to want to see someone else prevail. Some of you need to get that miserableness and bitterness out of your heart and encourage somebody to keep going. We can do it. We can create a platform so big that other cities will not be able to compare with us because we are truly great. Unfortunately, it will never work that way if we don’t come together and find ways to help each other progress in this temporary life that we dwell in. If you’re reading this, give your friends the full support that you will give a celebrity. Baltimore is the greatest city in America.
