The 2024 Pride Edition of “The Unleashed Voice Magazine” is a vibrant celebration of Pride Month. Pride Month is held in June to honor the Stonewall Riots of 1969, a pivotal event in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. This uprising against police brutality and discrimination marked the beginning of the modern LGBTQ+ liberation movement.

Diversity & Celebration

Visibility and Representation

Pride month celebrates the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community, recognizing the variety of identities, experiences, and contributions. This celebration fosters a sense of belonging and community among individuals.

Advocacy and Education

Raising Awareness

Pride Month raises awareness about the ongoing challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, including discrimination, violence, and legal inequalities. It educates the public on these issues and the need for continued advocacy and reform.

Personal Empowerment and Support

Affirmation of Identity

For many LGBTQ+ individuals, Pride Month is an opportunity to affirm their identities and feel proud of who they are. It can be an empowering experience, fostering self-acceptance and confidence. Pride events create a sense of community and solidarity. They provide a space for LGBTQ+ individuals to connect with others who share similar experiences and struggles, reducing feelings of isolation.

Cover Story: This isn’t no ordinary love. This cover story is a detailed profile of the prominent trans activists Rahkel Henry and her partner Malik. Both are making significant contributions to the LGBTQIA+ community through various advocacy fronts. In this feature they are transparent and vulnerable with their personal journeys, struggles, and triumphs exemplify the spirit of Pride.

Malik and Rahkel are producing a new series called TransWorld Atlanta: which is about telling stories by real people. They believe that too often trans and non-binary stories are told by those that are not transgender or non-binary, but Transworld allows these individuals to tell their unique and authentic stories. The purpose of Transworld Atlanta is to save lives. We want to show young people that they are not alone. We know that often children don’t quite have the words for what they feel on the inside but shows like Transworld Atlanta provides representation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AKh1VnGEOw&t=41s&pp=ygUTdHJhbnMgd29ybGQgYXRsYW50YQ%3D%3D

“The one thing that we have learned over the years is that representation matters. Transworld takes a deep dive into those that are living with or at high risk for HIV. Transworld provides knowledge on what it means to be a transgendered father giving birth. Stories of injustice and hate are also being shared. Every season the Transworld franchise’s goal is to share stories of empowerment, beauty, love, triumph, and resilience. All lives Matter and Transgender individuals are human.”_ Rahkel & Malik

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS – MARLEAUX JONES

“retroLUV, Volume 1: Vent Sessions” is an album born from personal pain, recorded over several years. The artist began the project in 2017 following a breakup with his fiancée. Initial attempts to produce tracks were unsuccessful until he met producer Ashton Harris in 2022. From January to October 2023, they collaborated to create the album, with Harris producing five tracks. The recording process was therapeutic, helping the artist work through his emotional baggage, particularly in songs like “La La La” and “Down Bad.” The artist found his unique sound with Harris’s help, leading to some of his best writing and vocal experimentation. He hopes the album, available on all streaming platforms, resonates with listeners, offering them a sense of self-love and self-worth.

This special edition is aimed to educate the community about the lives of transgender individuals and LGBQIA+ couples, their allies, and the broader LGBTQ+ community. It serves as a source of inspiration, support, and celebration, particularly during Pride Month.
