February 2026 - Celebrating Black History Past, Present, Powerful featuring Cedric Pride and African Americans Who Make a Difference
About this episode
The episode features Cedric Pride discussing his journey and the impact of the Pride Initiative on the Black community.
Read the DUS February Issue here When self-proclaimed “country boy” Cedric Pride arrived in Denver during his 20s, he didn’t have a roadmap, but was equipped with absolute faith, a deep willingness to learn, and an entrepreneurial spirit. That mindset would later become the foundation of the Pride Initiative, the faith-based nonprofit he founded to support the Black community toward economic freedom and generational wealth. Today, the organization operates out of a 10,000-square-foot office space. (By Gabrielle West) Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify , Amazon Music , Pandora o r wherever you find podcasts!
