The Many Faces of Motherhood

‘Mother’ is one of the most powerful words in our language but it is also a word that comes with the overwhelming burden of societal expectation and an endless cycle of comparison. It is often a word that beats us into submission, leaving us questioning who we are as women and frequently calling on us to put our wants and needs at the bottom of the pile. This is a talk for all women: for those who have children, those who don’t have them yet, those who are childless by choice, and those who are grieving for the mother they will never be.

It is a moment for all women to come together around this one powerful word, so we can begin to imagine a future where ‘Mother’ is rooted in the beauty of our individuality, and no longer used as a rod to beat us with. It is a celebration of all we can be, at a time when the world needs Mothers more than ever before.
