Inspiring Mother* Voices
featuring Shari MacDonald Strong editor of The Maternal is Political: Women Writers at the intersection of Motherhood and Social Change; Jen Parsons, Mothers Acting Up and Run for Congo organizer; and Amie Nelson, currently writing Inspiring Mothers.
Everywhere we turn the word "crisis" is in the air -- the financial crisis, the food crisis, the climate crisis, the terrorist crisis.

Come and meet Shari MacDonald Strong, editor of The Maternal is Political; Amie Nelson, authoring Inspiring Mothers; Jen Parsons, organizer for Mothers Acting Up and Run for Congo, an organization dedicated to inspiring and mobilizing mothers* to advocate on behalf of the world's children. Join us for a conversation on what mother leadership looks like. Come to Inspiring Mother* Voices, nourish your soul, and connect with your inner activist.
*mothers and others who exercise protective care over someone smaller.
