Regarding their support of Atlanta Pride, Dr. Christopher shared, “I wanted to join Atlanta Pride’s board because Pride is not just a celebration. It is a commitment to courage, belonging, and collective care. Atlanta Pride represents what is possible when visibility is paired with responsibility and when joy is matched with advocacy. As someone who believes deeply in building inclusive systems and telling honest stories, I felt called to contribute my skills in service of a community that has shaped my life and continues to shape Atlanta’s cultural and civic future”.
