BABY GUIDE
THE
Coming Undone During The Age of Anxiety by Amanda Watson
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck our part of the world this past spring, I did what most working parents did (after panicking, crying a lot, checking my symptoms hourly, and stocking the pantry). I put my head down, rolled up my sleeves, and got to work. I recall feeling incredibly appreciative that I didn’t lose my job. We were a lucky, dual-income household, in a privileged social position with respect to both race and income. We were tasked with staying put while people around us lost their jobs, risked getting sick on the frontlines of the crisis, and were forced to process egregious displays of anti-Black and antiIndigenous racism against families and communities.
