Students from Albemarle Road Middle School in East Charlotte made history when their radiation detector experiment was selected for NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's TechRise Student Challenge—one of just 60 schools nationwide out of 700 applicants.

With guidance from teacher Sharon Okoye and support from NASA engineers, these middle schoolers built an experiment that launched on a high-altitude balloon to the edge of space this summer.

What started as one student’s curiosity about radiation turned into a project that redefined what’s possible for the entire school. Now, many students are dreaming of futures in science and engineering.

✨Proof that with opportunity and determination, kids can reach for the stars—literally.

Congratulations to Tamara Williams, associate professor of dance at UNC Charlotte, on receiving a 2025 Arts & Science Council Creative Renewal Fellowship!

With this $15,000 grant, Williams will deepen her dance research by studying Yoruba drumming in Benin and Nigeria this summer, and with master traditionalists in Atlanta throughout the year.

Her work bridges performance, history, and community — creating programs that connect underserved communities in Charlotte and beyond to the dances and cultures of the African diaspora.

The C. W. Williams Community Health Center, Inc is cooking up change with its Nutrition Kitchen — a teaching kitchen that goes beyond recipes to transform lives.

Through free cooking demos, market-to-table workshops, and smart cart grocery tours, participants learn how to prepare affordable, culturally relevant, and nutrient-dense meals. From swapping spaghetti noodles for zucchini to learning backyard gardening, the program makes healthy living practical and accessible.

Early results are inspiring — patients are losing weight, lowering blood pressure, and gaining energy by rethinking how they shop, cook, and eat.

The Nutrition Kitchen isn’t just about food — it’s about empowerment, prevention, and building long-term health in the heart of Charlotte. 💚

Wake Forest University School of Medicine has officially welcomed its Class of 2029 — including the inaugural four-year class at its brand-new Charlotte campus at The Pearl.

This makes Charlotte no longer the largest U.S. city without a four-year medical school — a huge step forward in expanding access to medical education and health innovation.

Nearly 200 students across both the Charlotte and Winston-Salem campuses will benefit from 120 years of Wake Forest med school excellence, collaborative, problem-based learning with real clinical cases, and access to Advocate Health’s clinical + research network.

Dean L. Ebony Boulware, M.D., calls it a “historic moment” — and a new era of training physicians who are community-focused, collaborative, and ready for the future.

Congrats to the Class of 2029 — the future of healthcare starts here!

Su***de prevention is a conversation our community can’t afford to ignore. While the NAACP National Convention in Charlotte focused on “The Fierce Urgency of Now” — one urgent crisis was missing: su***de.

Su***de is the second leading cause of death for Black males ages 10–24, and Black youth report suicidal thoughts at alarming rates. Black women 18–65 are also among the highest-risk groups. Yet stigma and silence keep too many from seeking help.

💡 The good news: su***de is preventable. Education and awareness save lives. Certified QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Su***de Prevention trainings are available for free online every month — and in just two hours, you can learn how to recognize the signs, start a conversation, and save a life.

It’s time to break the stigma. It’s time for action. Reach out to Fonda Bryant for more information on this free training.

🍂📚 Fall is here — which means cozy nights, warm drinks, and a stack of good reads. Our resident book reviewer, Angela, has a few must-reads to add to your list this season:

✨ White Burgers, Black Cash by Naa Oyo A. Kwate
This powerful work unpacks how fast food went from excluding Black communities to deeply embedding itself in them — often with devastating consequences. It’s not just about burgers, it’s about inequality, land, and targeted marketing disguised as opportunity. Eye-opening and essential.

✨ The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride
A luminous, layered novel set in a neighborhood of Black families and immigrant Jews, this story honors the quiet heroes who protect the vulnerable when no one else will. A soulful reminder that the strongest communities are built on love, courage, and care.

Which one are you adding to your fall reading list first? To check out the full list, head here: https://issuu.com/watchdog-ent./docs/pride_magazine-september_october_health_educati/10

Private and independent schools in Charlotte are proving that education goes far beyond academics. From service-learning at Trinity Episcopal School to leadership pipelines at Charlotte Latin School, and mission trips at Charlotte Christian School — these schools are weaving community, wellness, and purpose into daily learning.

The result? Students who aren’t just excelling in the classroom, but also growing as empathetic leaders, engaged citizens, and confident young people ready to make an impact. 🌍

Representation matters in food science — but African Americans make up just 4% of the field. That’s why the Charlotte-based George Washington Carver Food Research Institute Agriculture STEAM Academy is on a mission to change the pipeline.

This two-week summer program gives high schoolers hands-on career exposure, from pitching real-world product ideas to networking with industry leaders. Students dive into labs, farms, and food science innovation while learning how what we eat connects to health, community, and opportunity.

As co-founder Angela Cauley says: “There’s plenty of opportunity and space for our children to have wonderful careers — whether inside companies or launching their own businesses.”

👩🏾‍🔬 Future food scientists start here.
