This week I talk with folks from Free Spirit Media. First up is Jeff McCarter, Free Spirit’s Founder and Executive Director. Jeff shares FSM’s beginnings from Hoops High, to where they are today. Jeff is followed up by two Free Spirit Media teachers, Brandon Johnson and Shé Rogers. Shé is also a graduate of FSM. They talk about the joys, and struggles of teaching to urban youth.
FREE SPIRIT MEDIA provides teens and young adults in communities of color on Chicago’s West and South sides with a comprehensive foundation in media literacy and hands-on media production experience. Free Spirit Media runs IN-SCHOOL arts education, AFTER SCHOOL and summer digital media programs, and advanced CREATIVE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT programs.
