Kymone Freeman - Chess Instructor

Kymone Freeman is a native Washingtonian, community activist 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 where people learn about sustainable urban gardening, healthy eating and enjoy the private outdoor event space called Bundy's Secret Garden. Most recently, in memory of slain community journalist, We Act Radio established the Charnice Milton Community Bookstore, the first independent bookstore east of the river. Freeman is also an award winning playwright with several productions to his credit. His most recent stage production "The Night Michael Jackson Died" was the first theatrical performance ever held at the Hamilton Live in downtown DC and appeared in NYC at the historic SOB's.
