  • Ep. 149: Baltimore’s Mayor Brandon Scott: The Truth About Crime, Trump & Protecting Our Black Women

    Ep. 149: Baltimore’s Mayor Brandon Scott: The Truth About Crime, Trump & Protecting Our Black Women
    Feb 2 2026
    In XYBM 149, we sit down inside Baltimore City Hall with Brandon Scott, Baltimore’s 52nd mayor, for a rare and deeply personal conversation about leadership, trauma, and what it really takes to transform a city.

    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.

    XYBM Clips: Why Beatings Stop Behavior in Children — But Don’t Actually Fix The Problem
    Jan 28 2026
    If you want to listen to the full episode (XYBM 148) from this clip, search for the title: "Ep. 148: How to raise Resilient Children without Hitting Them with Dr. Amber" — it was released on January 19, 2026.

    In XYBM 148, I sit down with Dr. Amber Thornton, a licensed Clinical Psychologist and author, to discuss gentle and conscious parenting and what it looks like in Black families. Dr. Thornton shares how self-regulation, emotional intelligence, and intentional parenting help children build emotional resiliency without fear, control, or corporal punishment. We explore conscious parenting, the long-term impact of fear-based discipline, setting expectations and routines early, and how healing misunderstandings strengthens parent-child relationships, closing with a direct message to Black fathers.
