Thanks to @ArchCityDefense for recognizing our work @bellevillenewsd. I'm a single mom living in East St. Louis with a degree, a passion for journalism and love for my community. This award proves that Black moms can do it too! Documentaries, diaper changes, everything.

Cover story co-written with @clarktrandall: For Landlord Nathan Cooper, Section-8 Tenants Are Big Business https://t.co/XZCAMN6zMl

[Caitlin Lee @_gears__]

While not all landlords who rent to tenants on Section-8 are "voucher specialists," #STLouis landlord Nathan Cooper operates like one. A year later, this is our follow up on one of the city's most significant property owners. https://t.co/XZCAMN6zMl

[Caitlin Lee @_gears__]

@naffziger Thanks Chris! Appreciate your read.
