Frankly. Podcast

Frankly. is a podcast that explores the health and wellbeing of adolescents from the perspectives and lived experiences of Black and Latinx young people on Chicago’s South and West sides. Frankly. is a seven-episode series that centers the voices of young people marginalized by race, gender, and/or sexual orientation as they navigate various social environments, develop their identities, and understand the world around them. It engages high school students in conversation on their unique experiences with consent, healthy relationships, over-policing, sexual harassment, sex-ed, and health equity. This podcast builds on the findings from Ci3’s Adolescent X Study, a research project that studies narrative methods to explore the messages that young people receive about their bodies, identities, and sexual health. Frankly aims to contextualize the stories of young people by examining the ways in which structural barriers and institutions impede their overall health and wellbeing.
