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:1 shot espresso or 2 Tbsp instant coffee1 cup milk of choice (oat milk slaps)1 Tbsp chocolate syrup1 Tbsp brown sugar cinnamon syrupIce to fillOptional: Cold foam with a dusting of cocoa powder🧶 Crochet Project of the Week: Men's Polo Shirt🗓️ Coming Up Next Week:Catherine Pugh and the Healthy Holly book hustle.💬 Support the Show🎧 Subscribe + Review on Apple Podcasts & Spotify☕ Join the Patreon for bonus content: patreon.com/blackcoffeecrimecrochet📲 Follow on Social: IG, TikTok, Threads @blackcoffeecrimecrochet#BlackCoffeeCrimeCrochet #TrueCrimePodcast #BaltimorePolitics #PoliticalScandal #SheilaDixon #CozyChaosSources will be available on my website within 30 days.
