...Hana Scott worked as the director of operations at Bmore Empowered from September 2021 to September 2025, according to her LinkedIn profile. Her employment there ended the same month the organization announced it was undergoing an “organizational pause.”

It is unclear if the nonprofit will resume operations. Bmore Empowered, which has a stated mission of “empowering Black women and girls through mindfulness and entrepreneurship,” is behind on its tax filings and was sued for unpaid rent. It is also listed as “delinquent” on Maryland’s charity database. The nonprofit has not responded to Spotlight on Maryland’s questions.

Bmore Empowered received an influx of taxpayer money after the Scotts went public with their relationship in July 2023.

One day before the Scotts’ relationship announcement, Bmore Empowered was awarded an $80,000 grant from the taxpayer-funded Downtown Partnership of Baltimore at an event attended by the couple, who met in 2022. The Baltimore City government started sending Bmore Empowered taxpayer money in January 2023, totaling $34,950 by 2024. The taxpayer-funded Baltimore Children and Youth Fund (BCYF) sent $62,500 to Bmore Empowered, according to its latest tax form covering July 2023 through June 2024.

Bmore Empowered did not respond to questions about how it plans to utilize its taxpayer money and why it has yet to file a tax form for fiscal year 2024, which was due to the IRS in May 2025.

Attempts to reach Hana Scott for comment were unsuccessful. ...
