Pride Magazine ~ Charlotte, NC

Charlotte's only African-American business & lifestyle magazine, celebrating a rich 20+-year history
(1)

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.

Charlotte’s culinary scene is having a moment - and the world is taking notice

Once considered an underdog, Charlotte is becoming a must-visit food destination, fueled by national buzz from Top Chef, honors from the James Beard Foundation and recognition in the MICHELIN Guide.

A dynamic blend of Southern tradition and global influence, where local farms support fresh, community-rooted dining and chefs bring flavors from around the world to the table. From elevated fine dining to neighborhood gems and creative culinary startups, there’s something for every palate.

After a life-threatening postpartum heart attack, Dr. Jonisha Brown turned her experience into action and founded The Women's Empowerment and Birth Equity Institute - WEBE to support Black mothers in Mecklenburg County.

Her story highlights a critical reality: Black women face significantly higher risks during pregnancy and postpartum, often due to systemic gaps in care, not personal factors.

Through WEBE, Dr. Brown provides free, culturally grounded advocacy and support, helping women feel heard, informed and empowered throughout their journey.

Because when Black women are supported, entire communities thrive. https://issuu.com/watchdog-ent./docs/pride_magazine_-_2026_march_april_women_s_issue/28

Today’s buyers are hitting pause on fast, trend-driven decisions and focusing on what really matters: comfort, character and long-term livability.

In Charlotte, that means a growing preference for established neighborhoods with mature trees, larger lots and updated homes, rather than cookie-cutter new builds. Buyers are also moving away from open-concept everything, favoring defined spaces like home offices and separate living areas that better fit real life.

Popular areas reflect these priorities:
• South End for energy and walkability
• Ballantyne & River District for convenience and amenities
• Concord & Huntersville for space and value

The bottom line: in 2026, it’s not just about finding a house - it’s about finding a home that truly fits your life.

La Becky Roe, founder of Let's Talk About It - The Autism Center, turned her personal journey into a powerful mission to support individuals with autism and their families.

After her son Chris was diagnosed with autism and given limiting predictions, Roe refused to accept them - leaning on faith, education and advocacy to help him thrive. Today, Chris is a college graduate pursuing coding, proving that potential goes far beyond labels.

Through her nonprofit, Roe is filling critical gaps in awareness, education and support, especially for underserved communities, reminding us that autism is a difference, not a deficit.
