Business
Linze is the owner of two businesses, Pink House Media and The TaTa Top.
Pink House Media
In May 2018, Linze founded Pink House Media, a boutique writing, editing, content, PR, social media and photography firm. She writes and edits original content and stories for clients, and helps them earn media placement — as well as develops and implements social and editorial strategies, and take personalized photos, ranging from professional headshots, to business photography to family portraits.
Clients have included: Healthline Media, Berwyn Development Corporation, LISC Chicago, Genoa-Kingston CUSD #424, River Strategies, The Mas Ink, Erika Wozniak for 46th Ward Alderwoman, Block Club Chicago, The Girl Talk and more.
Examples of written work include: “New Co-op Business Development Coming To Englewood Gives Local Entrepreneurs the Power — And Capital — Needed To Thrive,” (LISC); “Austin, Hermosa, North Lawndale Residents Take Future Into Their Own Hands With New Quality-of-Life Plans,” (LISC); and “More than a Basketball Tournament: Hoops in the Hood’s Biggest Season Yet,” (LISC).
The TaTa Top
In late 2018, Linze bought an existing local business named The TaTa Top. She'd reported on the business when covering the Edgewater neighborhood for DNAinfo, and was always fascinated and inspired by its unique concept, ability to start conversations, and its charitable component. The TaTa Top is a fashion brand that produces bikini tops which give the illusion of toplessness, with a portion of each sale going to women’s health and breast cancer charities. Since the company was founded in 2014, over $40,000 has been donated to charity.
