Biz is joined by Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen to unpack parenting and work in the time of Covid-19.

Where will the support come from and what can we do to make our voices heard? 

Read Deb Perelman's Op-Ed for the NYTimes: In the Covid-19 Economy, You Can Have a Kid or a Job. You Can’t Have Both. Follow Deb on Twitter @DebPerelman and on Instagram at debperelman. Find her incredible recipes at Smittenkitchen.com.
