Pride Prom: ‘Where everybody is a king, queen or royalty’

Students from all around the D.C. region went to the Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria in Virginia for Safe Space NOVA’s Pride Prom.

Amy Cannava, senior program manager for Safe Space NOVA, has spearheaded the event since its beginning in 2018.

“We welcome any youth — rising ninth grade through age 20. If you’re old enough to drink, you’re old enough to find entertainment elsewhere,” said a smiling Cannava.

The school psychologist described the Pride prom as a labor of love.
