Portland State University instructor Kacy McKinney has used comics to teach in her classroom, written about them academically, and made them herself. Now she's bringing local organizations together with indie artists to tell stories about homelessness, and what it means to cope with food and housing insecurity, through an 80-page full color comic. Changing the Narrative is a collaborative project headed by McKinney and made in partnership with Street Roots, the Independent Publishing Research Center,.
