A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Bottling Up Our Cocktails
There’s a lot to think about and do right now. When we aren’t neck-deep in the news, the socials, the phone banks, and our elected officials’ inboxes, we’ve been thinking about doctors’ visits and start-up culture—both topics of a recent podcast ep. Speaking of that ol’ pod: We’re offering a free ad each week to a Black-owned business. If you’re interested in taking us up on this, email podcast@claireanderica.com. We’re ready to unleash our signature brand of enthusiasm.
