The Premise

Beyond the headlines.
Healing from the Inside Out.

Rebel Voices captures the unfiltered reality of our neighborhoods. You'll hear from 4th–8th grade "mini rebels" sharing what it's like to feel scared to play outside — contrasted with community members sharing their stories of Healing. Through the lenses of youth facilitators, educators, principals, and parents, we explore our genuine challenges alongside our deepest points of pride: our food, our music, and the undeniable spirit of being from Chicago.
