She said she wanted to celebrate the beauty of Baltimore, using hashtags including #Baltimoreborn and #Baltimorebadass and the popular one trending this week, #WeAreBaltimore.
This timing comes after a weekend full of criticism from President Donald Trump on the City and its congressman Rep. Elijah Cummings, in which he called the city "rat and rodent-infested".
