Welcome to Indicted While Elected !!!! — the brand new series on Black Coffee, Crime & Crochet, where we stitch together stories of Black elected officials who went from power to prosecution.This week, we’re starting in Baltimore, Maryland, with the city’s very first Black woman mayor, Sheila Dixon.
She made history, lowered crime, and cleaned up the streets…
But it all came crashing down over a $500 gift card scandal that had Baltimore clutching their Target receipts.We’re digging into her rise, fall, and comeback attempts, plus asking the big question:
Was it fair to throw her whole legacy away? Or did Baltimore lose one of its best mayors over a minor mistake?👉🏾 Sip or Spill: Share your take on IG or Threads @blackcoffeecrimecrochetSIP if you think Sheila Dixon deserved more grace — she owned up (kinda lol), did her community service, and still made Baltimore better while she was in office. SPILL if you think trust is trust, and you can’t steal from the people and expect to get your seat back — no matter how small the dollar amount was.☕ Iced Coffee of the Week: “Mocha Misconduct”-Chocolate, brown sugar cinnamon, and a little shady energy.Recipe Recap:
