Is It Freedom? is a song featured in Episode 06: Where Do We Go. The song is the result of a unique collaboration between Jorie, Erica’s niece, and Larii, a young Chicago-based artist.

“In civics, my teacher taught that the 4th of July was when we gained our freedom from Great Britain. I waited for her to talk about the rest of the Americans and when we gained our freedom. But that part never came.”

-Jorie
