I also want to dedicate my documentary to my little cousins Kareem, Keerston, Karon and Kamorie because I know that they will soon begin to look for people to call role models and I would like for them to understand how to choose a role model wisely.” Free Spirit Media is a youth media education and production non-profit organization based in Chicago with a mission to cultivate diverse youth voices to transform media and society.
