On this radio show this week we cover the impact of the Zika virus and the opioid epidemic with the U.S. Surgeon General; discuss the passing of Prince and a terrific new book, How Exceptional Black Women Lead; cover tips for stopping discrimination against pregnant workers in the workplace; and talk about the passage of paid family leave in New York and what that means for the rest of the nation.

 

*Special guests include:  U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy; Dr. Avis Jones DeWeever, author and founder of the Exceptional Leadership Institute for Women; Liz Morris, Center for WorkLife Law; and NYC Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo.

 

We start out the show untangling the Presidential Primary, then move to hearing about the horrible new law passed in North Carolina and what you can do to help fix it.  Next we cover the real, modern family story in our nation; and we close the show with an important conversation about drug policy and ending structural racism.
