Pamela Rush lives in Lowndes County, Alabama and lacks basic access to sewage infrastructure. Her story is Part 1 in a series about infrastructure and poverty-related tropical diseases in the South featured in Southerly, an independent news publication that covers stories on culture, ecology, and justice in the American South. The magazine was created by journalist @lyndseygilpin, who I’ve seen work tirelessly over the past few years to create Southerly based on her ambition to tell underrepresented stories. Sincere congratulations to her on launching today. I was honored to be included in the project and invited into Pamela’s home to be able to tell her story visually. Link to Southerly in my bio and at @southerly_mag. . . This story is also published in the Montgomery Advertiser, a USA Today network newspaper in Montgomery, Alabama which welcomed Southerly with open arms. . #independentmedia #reporting #americansouth #thesouth #montgomeryalabama #lowndescounty #infrastructure #tropicaldisease #povertyrelateddisease #womeninmedia #montgomeryadvertiser (at Lowndes County, Alabama)
