Coming Soon: Freedom Festival Podcast
The improvscience Freedom Festival was started by Dr. Raquell Holmes of improvscience in 2023. It is organized by many volunteers—businesses, donors and ordinary people with dreams creating the Freedom Festival together. We hope you will join us!
What does it mean for people in the United States and internationally to come together to explore and celebrate freedom and independence? In the United States, emancipation from slavery and national independence are marked by two federal holidays, Juneteenth and Independence Day.
Events exploring and celebrating emancipation begin with Juneteenth celebrations around the country and continue through the US Independence Day. The improvscience Freedom Festival events this year run June 13th to July 4th.
Through this festival, people of all walks of life are inviting one another to experience, celebrate and advance freedom and independence for all.
The improvscience Freedom Festival podcast will release its first full episode on Juneteenth, 2026. We will release subsequent episodes on the following Fridays: June 26, July 3, and July 10. We look forward to sharing what we're building with you, and hope you will join with us to keep creating and exploring freedom and independence.
