Tell KCUR: Are You Middle Class? What Does Middle Class Look Like In Kansas City?

Just who is the middle class?  The Wall Street Journal wonderedin a piece earlier this year. The paper points out the term means little, and that’s why politicians love to use it.

Middle class in the Kansas City metro is certainly different than middle class in San Francisco, but how should we decide who fits into that category?

Tell KCUR: Are you middle class? How do you know? What does being middle class look like in Kansas City?

I partner with communities to uncover the ignored or misrepresented stories by listening and letting communities help identify and shape a narrative. My work brings new voices, sounds, and an authentic sense of place to our coverage of the Kansas City region. My goal is to tell stories on the radio, online, on social media and through face to face conversations that enhance civic dialogue and provide solutions.
