Art “Chat Daddy” Sims made a name for himself in media. He became a household name, doing radio, television and writing for newspapers, not just in Chicago, but across the world. During the pandemic, Sims’ radio show ended and he was looking for his next chapter. Dionne Nicole Smith, Director of Development at the Guest House, told him that she thought he would be a great addition to the Guest House staff. He visited and fell in love with the Guest House.
