MommaCon 2021 redefines what it means to be a mom

by Raffy Santamaria / August 18, 2021

Being a mom is one of the best privileges a woman can have, but one that requires a lot of dedication and sacrifice. These realities have become increasingly evident during the current global crisis with the pandemic-related stress affecting each family member and their lifestyle. Additionally, having to shift and pivot for another year adds to what is already seen as unpaid work for many women who are running their own households. Thus, as the world evolves, the idea of motherhood evolves with it.

Opening a space and discussion for moms to reflect over a year of transformation, integrated marketing experience firm TeamAsia is set to redefine what it means to be a mom in today’s time at MommaCon Year 2 on September 11 and 18, 2021.

Last year, MommaCon talked about the glorious tasks of motherhood and uncovered meaningful topics that are usually swept under the rug. This year, as moms face new challenges, opportunities and discoveries with the online world, the event will revolve around what it takes to be a “MOM Online” in today’s evidently complex world.

Featured discussions will not only be limited to usual mom topics like mom-preneurship, health and well-being, and modern-day parenting. Instead, MommaCon 2021 aims to highlight the beauty of motherhood as moms are courageous, independent, resilient. This includes the hard and unspoken conversations about motherhood including: dealing with trauma, single and same-sex parenting, writing your will, meeting your significant other during COVID, and so much more!

Apart from this, the event will also be headlined by globally and locally recognized women leaders who have inspired and empowered women, and they also happen to give a unique perspective on what it means to raise the next generation. Some of these speakers are Global Woman Club CEO and founder Mirela Sula, Richwell Trading Corporation president and CEO Myrna Yao, and Asia CEO Events president and CEO Rebecca Bustamante.

The Red Circle’s very own Cid Santillan will also be moderating one of the panel discussions for the event titled “Rainbow Parenting.” Featuring Paul John Mendoza Peña, Ice & Liza Diño-Seguerra, this panel will focus on the dynamics of an LGBTQ+ family including the challenges faced by same sex parents and by parents with a child exploring a different sexual orientation.

Ultimately, MommaCon 2021 will redefine how moms see themselves and equip them with the knowledge they need to conquer this day and age. Whether you are a mother who continues to navigate a world in crisis, one that assumes what the role of a woman should be, and one that continues to show the different realities of the digital age, MommaCon 2021 will help you effectively fulfill your role in this anxiety-stricken, online-driven world fueled by the ongoing pandemic.

The ideas and the stories of each mom varies in so many ways and if you want to uncover, be inspired, and listen to a colourful roster of moms then MommaCon is certainly the place for you.
