We had so much fun partnering up with Brooklyn Org and City Point to host the first ever Moms who Move Bklyn breakfast panel. It was a wonderful morning of speakers, networking and flowers in Downtown Brooklyn! “I love being in a room full of moms. They are the most engaged audience because showing up takes time, effort, and planning, especially on a school day. And on Thursday, May 7th they delivered. I was inspired by the panelists, all moms on a mission to strengthen their communities. But the real gift was what came after: Conversations that were authentic, vulnerable, funny, and a reminder that moms need spaces like this where they feel seen and understood.” – Grace Bastidas (Moms Who Move Bklyn Panel Moderator)
Moderated by award-winning journalist and speaker Grace Bastidas, the panel gathered change maker moms for a conversation about Motherhood In Brooklyn: how moms are driving new ideas, navigating challenges, and taking the lead in shaping the borough’s diverse communities.
