Charlotte Black Pride (CBP) has announced the recipient of their annual $250 reinvestment fund: Ali Steele.

Applications posted a short video describing their vision for the future of their organizations, tagging CBP on either Facebook or Instagram. The group/individual with the most likes was selected for the reinvestment fund (bit.ly/3rN1oXO).
Steele is a singer, songwriter and entrepreneur, juggling a music career along with spearheading two organizations: EthnicByAli and Issa Vibe Adventures. “I created EthnicByAli in 2015 when I got laid off my job but it’s a total reflection of my culture through signs, symbols, ethnic attire and wholistic remedies,” Steele said.
