About R. Foxworth

Short Bio

I’m a writer and social entrepreneur based in Baltimore, MD. I’m a politics nerd, policy geek and news junkie. I spend a lot of my time thinking about disruptive innovation for social change.

My writing on race, culture, politics, and social issues has appeared in numerous publications, including The Baltimore Sun, Baltimore City Paper, Urbanite magazine, Baltimore Brew, Baltimore Fishbowl, and Metro US newspapers.

Slightly More Informative Bio

I’m a writer, marketer and business strategist for nonprofits, social good enterprises and progressive businesses. I write and speak frequently about race, politics and philanthropy. I’ve been featured in The Maryland Daily Record as a next-generation nonprofit leader and anti-racist activist Tim Wise has referred to me as one of his favorite writers on race issues. I’ve held positions as a nonprofit manager, sales executive and marketing specialist across multiple industries. I attended University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where I was a Kauffman Foundation scholar at the Alex. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship, and was awarded the Joseph and Frieda Faiman Eisenberg Scholarship for entrepreneurial achievement.
