“The intention is to honor and amplify the unique perspectives and voices of honeys, while maintaining a strong emphasis on nurturing local talent within Baltimore,” says Pride, a Towson University alum who has written for television shows like Queen Sugar and Grey’s Anatomy. “That’s why we invited Ty Alexander, a proud Baltimore resident, to contribute to this vibrant exchange. Through our storytelling, we aim to weave together the intergenerational narratives of honeys, embracing both past and present experiences.”
