Kymone Freeman is a native Washingtonian, community activist, award winning playwright and co-founder of We Act Radio, Washington DC’s independent progressive radio and TV studio. Spearheading the Black L.U.V. Festival since 1997 and offering Media Arts training to at-risk youth, Mr. Freeman has invested years of art and activism to the District’s most vulnerable and under-served populations. In November 2011, based in historic Anacostia, We Act Radio began amplifying the voices and stories that aren’t heard in the corporate media. In addition to a production facility, We Act also has a community garden and performance space where people learn about sustainable urban gardening and enjoy live events. Most recently, in memory of slain community journalist, We Act Radio established the Charnice Milton Community Bookstore, only the 2nd bookstore east of the river to open in 25 years.
