You may have seen Maryland Governor Wes Moore speaking at the DNC. Last week, the CEO of For All Season Inc Beth Anne Dorman and Aaron Dante the host of NoPixAfterDark podcast had the opportunity to sit down with him at MACo to discuss the critical importance of mental health. In our conversation, Governor Moore shared, "Being able to deal with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) is so important because oftentimes we're talking about people who are suffering the consequence of something that they're not responsible [for]. As a kid who came up with a multitude of ACEs that came up against me, if there were not people and systems in place that allowed me to understand that the world was bigger than what was just directly in front of me, or the circumstances I was born into, or the circumstances that happened to me after I was born, then I would not be here right now, and definitely not as a 63rd governor of the state of Maryland." Catch the full episode to hear more of his insights and why mental health matters for all of us. #MentalHealthMatters #ForAllSeasons #NoPixAfterDark #ACEs #WesMoore #Maryland #MACo

EP 149 Aaron Dante sits down with Maryland State Senator Cory V. McCray. We talk about how got into politics. How my neighbors have spoke highly of him. What bills he has helped pass and his love for reading books. Tune in this is an episode you don't want to miss. Cory McCray was elected to represent the 45th Legislative District in the Maryland State Senate in 2018. Since that time, he has been named a “legislator to watch” by The Daily Record and Maryland Matters. Additionally, Cory also serves as First Vice Chair of the Maryland Democratic Party. Cory's story is a uniquely Baltimore story. Like many of us, Cory grew up in a Baltimore whose greatest resource was its hardworking men and women. In spite of that resource, the City often struggled to give those men and women the opportunity they deserved. As a teenager at Fairmount- Harford High School, Cory was also in search of opportunity. After a brief trip down the wrong path as a teenager, he found out about apprenticeships at the age of 18. The rest is history. By 19, he had become a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. By 20, he was a homeowner. Cory continued to meet opportunity halfway, working his way through community college and a bachelor's degree, all while growing a small business focused on rental properties. Those years also brought marriage and four loving children, along with a career focused wholly on working families and the communities they hold dear. Cory continues working for his local union and as a community organizer to this day, helping expand the opportunity for a better life to men and women across our City. In 2014, neighbors across the 45th District elected Cory to represent them in Maryland's House of Delegates. During his time in the House, leading news outlets like Center Maryland called him one of the most effective freshman legislators in the entire state. Cory's approach to public service is listening to his constituents' problems and then figuring out how to solve them. When his constituents asked for better jobs, Cory passed the ACTION and POWER Apprenticeship Acts, which expands funding for apprenticeships that lead to family supporting careers. When he was asked for a larger investment in public schools, Cory passed legislation that scores school construction funding, so that lawmakers can't cut Baltimore out of the resources it deserves. Cory's neighbors also asked him to make sure that they have a voice in Annapolis. He gave them a voice by passing legislation that restored voting rights to thousands of Marylanders. Just weeks after that victory, Governor Larry Hogan vetoed the bill and again silenced voices at the ballot box that many men and women had found for the first time in decades. But Cory didn't give up. He returned to the legislature more determined than ever, building a coalition of legislators from across Maryland who overturned the governor's veto, restoring the voices that Governor Hogan had silenced As the 45th District's Senator, Cory is continuing his mission to bring greater levels of resources and equity to the City of Baltimore.

"No pix after dark" was a rule for Aaron Dante when he was a young fly black man living his best life in the early 2000s. He wanted to be a sports broadcaster like Bob Costas and Stuart Scott (RIP), but when he got to Syracuse University he realized that wasn't his bag. He pivoted to something pretty lucrative, and worked in an industry you wouldn't normally associate with paying for relocation. Listen as Aaron talks about is semi-nomadic childhood, a key power move he made to stand out in the crowd, and the meaning of his podcast's name, No Pix After Dark.
