As challenges arise, our diverse LGBTQ+ community stands strong, woven together by love, resilience, and unity. In 2025, Washington, DC hosts and commemorates 50 years of Pride in DC — a global celebration of our vibrant identities and the ongoing fight for equality.

The flag embodies our diversity, but it’s our shared humanity that defines us. Each of us is a thread in this powerful tapestry.

And guess what? Anna and E3 Radio are coming back in 2025 to bring you all the stories, moments, and magic of WorldPride. Stay tuned, Fam! 🌈🎙️

Q***r Radio Done Right.

E3 Radio is an online radio network producing authentically-edgy radio streams from a q***r point of view. Our three pillars are to educate, empower, & entertain. We do this via our programs that blend music and talk which we define as “New Age NPR”. All of our programs are meant to challenge perceptions, evoke conversation & engage our listeners. E3 Radio is Q***r Radio Done Right.

In 2009, Anna DeShawn founded E3 because we needed something different. We needed a media platform that uplifted the voices & the music for people who couldn’t get any airtime. This need still exists today and Anna is determined to ride media into its next era by utilizing online radio streams to tell the stories that need to be heard.

Our Team is so dope and situated around the country. We come together to create this beautiful thing called E3 Radio.
