In the Spy’s regular check-in with BAAM—Building African American Minds—we sit down again with co-founder and director Dina Daly and director of instruction Dr. James Bell to discuss the latest developments in one of Mid-Shore’s most transformative education and afterschool programs.

From the long-anticipated opening of BAAM’s new facility to the expansion of its summer enrichment offerings and an inspiring investment in its girls’ program, Daly and Bell reflect on the vision, the momentum, and the deep community partnerships that continue to drive BAAM forward. They also share stories behind the building’s symbolic tree mural and announce a community summit to help shape the future of girls’ programming at BAAM.

This ongoing series highlights the people and programs shaping opportunity for the next generation.
