Erin will illustrate a dynamic, computer-based, choose-your-own-adventure comic book that will walk users through various realistic street harassment scenarios, allowing them to make choices that lead to new visual depictions of potential outcomes and reactions. The comic format is engaging, unaggressive, and accessible; inviting youth, educators, and activists to interact with and examine the issues and nuances of street harassment, its impact on women and/or LGBTQ mobility, as well as the long-term psychological impact on people who are harassed.
