MARYLAND — Another busy news week is behind us, and here's a chance to reflect on some people we met who shared their voice and their passion with WMAR and the community.

Our weekly wrap starts in Catonsville with what some may call a Baltimore institution, especially if you love crab. Cyera Williams took us to the old Plymouth Wallpaper building. It doesn't look like much right now, but soon, it will carry on the legacy of Faidley's Seafood.

Next,Ja Nai Wright introduces us to Robin Edwards, a Baltimore business owner who is empowering other entrepreneurs with a digital key chain.

“I wanted to create something to help other entrepreneurs like myself promote themselves in public, where as though you know how you have to invest in business cards and every time it runs out you have to keep on buying them over and over again."

We also got a chance to meet Milan Brown. You may not know her name now, but one day you will. She is a student at Mercy High School. Not only is she the all-time scoring leader in basketball at Mercy, breaking a record held since 1988, but at 18, she's also published her very first book.

Watch Xavier Wherry's story with Milan Brown and feel inspired.
