Pride Magazine ~ Charlotte, NC

Charlotte's only African-American business & lifestyle magazine, celebrating a rich 20+-year history

Pride has become a positive, meaningful and influential icon in the community. For more than 20 years, the magazine has highlighted accomplishments of African Americans and promoted social and cultural awareness throughout the community with regard to men, women, business and health. The stories and editorials have been compelling, touching the spirit and soul of the reader. In 2003, Pride introduced its very popular "Living With Pride" edition, featuring the homes, decor, and lifestyles of upscale African Americans thriving in our region. In 2009, Pride brought the Charlotte Multicultural Resource Guide to the scene.

A new creative hub is transforming opportunity on Charlotte’s West Side. CLT Creative Workspace — founded by community leader and PowerUP USA executive director Tommy Nichols — is a 5,200 sq. ft. space offering coworking, studios, training rooms, an AI/cyber lab, and digital media resources designed to empower nonprofits, entrepreneurs, artists and local youth.

Built to bridge gaps in access and fuel innovation, the workspace provides affordable membership options, hands-on workshops and even grants for emerging filmmakers. Since opening in 2024, it’s already hosted community forums, youth media programs, business trainings and more. Nichols’ mission is simple: to ensure creativity, technology and opportunity are accessible to everyone — and to help Charlotte’s underserved communities create, connect and shine.

Moving into senior living can feel overwhelming — but it can also be a life-changing step toward safety, support and community.
Experts say the transition is often emotional for seniors, especially after health changes or the loss of a spouse, but independent living communities offer privacy, autonomy and a vibrant lifestyle without the stress of home upkeep.

At places like Trevi Vibrant Senior Living, residents enjoy apartment-style homes, restaurant-style dining, wellness programs, social activities, transportation, and 24/7 safety features — plus “ambassadors” who help newcomers feel at home.

While many fear the cost or worry it will feel like a “nursing home,” professionals note that independent living can be more affordable (and far safer) than maintaining a private home. The biggest key? Honest planning, empathy and finding a community that feels supportive, engaging and financially compatible.

When the fit is right, independent senior living can offer comfort, connection and peace of mind for seniors and their families.

Our social media feeds shape our cravings — and our health.

Food companies spend billions targeting Black and Brown communities with ads for fast food, sugary drinks and processed snacks, both in stores and online. Algorithms amplify what we pause on, turning harmful products into constant suggestions in our timelines.

But we’re not powerless.

Experts and nutrition research show that whole-food, plant-based eating can prevent, and even reverse conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Filling our plates with leafy greens, beans, whole grains and whole plants fuels healing and long-term health.

Small shifts — cooking a few plant-forward meals, swapping processed snacks for fruit or nuts, sharing healthier recipes — help us change the algorithm and change our outcomes. Every click and every meal is a chance to choose truth over marketing — and build a healthier legacy for our communities.

With 157 new residents arriving every day, Charlotte’s reputation for opportunity, community, and culture continues to grow — and four new Charlotteans shared exactly why.

Black leisure travelers are shaping the future of tourism — and Charlotte is at the center of it.

A new MMGY + NCBMP study shows Black leisure travelers spend $145 billion annually, with the South attracting the largest share. North Carolina ranks #7 nationally, and Charlotte’s accessibility, diverse culture, and booming hospitality scene make it a top destination.

The CRVA (Charlotte's got a lot) is leveraging this momentum by promoting authentic stories, partnering with Black-owned businesses, and showcasing attractions like the Sullenberger Aviation Museum, Whitewater Center, and McGill Rose Garden. Campaigns like “Charlotte Love Notes” and events such as NOMADNESS Fest highlight the city’s vibrant communities and resonate deeply with visitors.

With record-breaking engagement and national recognition — including a Skift IDEA Awards nomination — Charlotte is proving that Black travel isn’t a niche trend. It’s a movement. And the Queen City is committed to ensuring Black travelers feel seen, celebrated, and genuinely welcomed.

Meet Racheal Baker, Assistant General Counsel at CRVA — and a force shaping Charlotte’s future.

In her first year with CRVA (Charlotte's got a lot) , Baker has guided major real estate, construction, and contracting projects, always with one goal: helping Charlotte grow thoughtfully and equitably. With degrees from UNC Greensboro and UNC-Chapel Hill, she brings deep expertise in planning and development — and a passion for city-building that shows in everything she does.

Beyond CRVA, Baker advises small businesses, nonprofits, and mission-driven projects on real estate and strategy, helping bring big visions to life. For her, economic development isn’t just about buildings — it’s about creating places where people can live, work, and thrive.

Charlotte’s own Craig Little — Marine Corps veteran, mentor, and community champion — is redefining service beyond the uniform. Recently named one of Charlotte’s Great 28, Little is known not for seeking the spotlight, but for uplifting others.

From restarting Charlotte’s Montford Point Marine Association, Charlotte Chapter #40 to helping veterans secure life-changing benefits as an Accredited Claims Agent, his work honors the legacy of the first Black Marines and ensures their stories are preserved. His efforts even helped rename Phifer Avenue to Montford Point Street and strengthened the chapter’s impact through scholarships, Toys for Tots partnerships, and expanded veteran advocacy.

A leader shaped by Marine Corps values, Little credits mentorship, structure and empathy for guiding his service — at work, at home, and in the community. Now serving in national leadership, he continues fighting for veterans, expanding access, and supporting the next generation.

Charlotte is stronger because of people like Craig Little — preserving history, serving those who served, and building bridges for all.
