In celebration of Pride Month, University Life took a trip to the Philadelphia Gayborhood with Malik Muhammad, Associate Director of the LGBT Center, to learn about the history of the neighborhood, explore Malik’s favorite spots, and visit a few LGBTQ+ owned small businesses.
Embracing Pride Month is all about that sense of empowerment and giving power back to our communities to know we belong here - in this city and in this space.
