PDDBM PROUD Magazine – Fall 2018 Edition
The First Edition – A Historic Beginning
Step back to where it all started with the very first edition of PDDBM PROUD Magazine! Created in Fall 2018 by Ruby N. Lewis, this groundbreaking issue laid the foundation for what would later become a powerful youth-driven publication. Before PDDBM's afterschool journalism program and before PDDBM officially became a nonprofit in 2023, this issue was a labor of love, passion, and commitment to storytelling.
Inside this historic first issue, you’ll find:
📖 Raw and Authentic Stories – Articles capturing the voices, challenges, and triumphs of the community.
📸 Powerful Photography – Striking visuals that amplify the message behind every story.
🎨 Creative Expression – A reflection of culture, identity, and empowerment through art and design.
This collector’s edition is a rare look at the origins of PDDBM’s mission to uplift, educate, and empower. By purchasing this special edition, you support PDDBM’s ongoing work in providing free journalism, fashion, and film programs for African American and underrepresented youth.
