Episode Synopsis

Chicago photographer Kenn Cook Jr. highlights the beauty of his West Side home with new project #MyWestSideStory. Already a community advocate, working with organizations benefiting the West Side like the NAACP, Cook found his advocacy niche in documenting the everyday life of his family and neighbors through photography. He showcases the spirit of the West Side with rich, authentic portraits, and hopes to encourage future generations to continue the community’s culture and keep fighting for positive change. This is what his Chicago sounds like.

This segment of “This Is What Chicago Sounds Like” was edited and produced by Ari Mejia. See some of Kenn Cook Jr.’s work at bykenncook.com or @bykenncook on Instagram.
