Episode 8: The Freedom Side School is Healing Generational Trauma
When a person is incarcerated, it's like their whole family is incarcerated with them. The impacts are especially devastating for children, who are not only separated from their loved one, but can be isolated socially because of stigmatization. That's what the Freedom Side School, a project coming out of Philadelphia abolitionist movements, hopes to heal by creating a liberation school for children impacted by incarceration. In the Season Finale of our first season, Shakaboona sits down with Portia Taylor and Faith Adams of the Freedom Side School to talk about the school's mission to provide both emotional support and political education to impacted children and break the cycles of incarceration within family lines.
