Pride Communications, Inc. is the parent company of Pride magazine a local publication that is distributed in Charlotte, North Carolina and the surrounding areas. Pride has become a positive, meaningful and influential icon in the community. For over 15 years, the magazine has highlighted the 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, décor and lifestyles of upscale African Americans thriving in our region.

In 2009, Pride began publishing every other month with the launch of a sixth edition titled, Community and Business Resource Guide (CBRG). The tremendous growth Charlotte has experienced within the last decade can be seen in housing developments, schools, commercial projects and in the increase of small businesses. The vision and purpose of the CBRG will be to provide valuable listings, features, financial tips and other guides to direct, educate, entertain, enlighten and engage the small business owner.

In conjunction with the magazine, Pride Communications produces two signature events to give back to the community on a larger scale. They are the annual Pride Awards and the Sunset Jazz Festival.
