.FreeSpiritChi is teaching young people from the West and South sides of Chicago ways to tell their own stories through media art projects, like short films and news stories, to change the narrative about their communities.
Throughout the summer, Mondays in Chicago often mean news outlets are all covering some version of the same story: the weekend’s violence.
Both Suggs and Davis are participants in Free Spirit Media, a nonprofit that works with young people 11 to 25 years of age from the West and South sides of Chicago. Staff members work to teach students to create media arts projects, like short films and news stories, to amplify their own voices. “I just want them to know it’s OK to be yourself, you don’t have to be no one else. We all go through stuff, no one’s perfect,” Davis says, describing the podcast she hopes to host one day soon.
