This month, Free Spirit Media in Chicago is celebrating 18 years of championing youth voices in media. The organization provides teens and young adults in communities of color on the West and South sides with a comprehensive foundation in media literacy and hands-on media production experience. We spoke with Founder & Executive Director, Jeff McCarter about the history and the mission of the organization and their upcoming FOCUS event on May 30th.
