Join Catherine Thomas, founder of Womens Work, and Neferteri Plessy, founder of Single Moms Planet, for a discussion on motherhood and working, where we will reflect on the challenges of raising children particularly during these difficult times. Participants will have the opportunity to share stories specific to being a mother and working in the arts, and reexamine the conversation around motherhood and work.
