We sit down with MoCo Pride Center’s leadership to unpack what a physical location means for health, safety, and belonging: Testing Tuesdays with full-spectrum STI screenings, a lending library of inclusive books, growing support groups, and rotating health services. Everything is free, open to all county residents, and designed to lift up those most underserved.

Then the magic continues with the return of Black Girl Magic Stories to Montgomery County’s airwaves and streams. Hosts Nia, Oju, and Makeda trace the show’s roots from intimate storytelling to a wider circle of voices across the DMV, pushing past one-note portrayals to reveal the full range of Black women’s lives. This season centers resistance in unexpected, resonant ways—self-care as resistance, education as resistance, art as resistance—showing how daily choices become acts of power.
