Colleen Shaddox

Colleen Shaddox worked in daily journalism until an editor told her, "No more stories about people with AIDS. That stuff hurts us in the suburbs." She quit to run a soup kitchen and has kept one foot in journalism and one in nonprofits ever since. She's written for NPR, The Washington Post, The New York Times and many other media outlets. Her work has been recognized by the National Newspaper Association and the Catholic Press Association.
