Each issue of "DMV Shorts" features unique stories about men, women, and children from the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia doing great things. This is an independent publication that strays from traditional publications by diving into educational, historical, and obscure facts.

In the August 2021 issue, the theme is togetherness. How are people together? In this issue, you will find editorials about:
• Paige Powell, a singer and songwriter from Alexandria, Virginia who has successfully learned to write and publish her own songs.
• Marianne Fahmy, a home baker from Ellicott City, Maryland who taught herself how to bake and is sure to incorporate love into everything she does.
• A duo of an amazing male Asian actor, Jacob Yeh, cast as the role of God in “An Act of God” and a female Vietnamese director, Tuyet Thi Pham, who brought this play to life at the NextStop Theater in Herndon, Virginia.
