WASHINGTON, May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- "Moms will inevitably shoulder extra domestic work during this pandemic" - reported The Washington Post in a 2020 article. A CNBC article also stated, "9.8 million working mothers in the U.S. are suffering from burnout." A year into a global pandemic, moms are desperately seeking interaction, restoration, and an escape from life's daily demands. On Saturday, June 12th, 2021, moms nationwide will have the opportunity to REVIVE at the fourth annual The Momference®.
Powered by District Motherhued®, The Momference® is the premier, one-day conference and celebration of Black, millennial motherhood, and it is the first event of its kind.

Actress, Author and Entrepreneur, Tia Mowry, will serve as the 2021 keynote, engaging in a candid conversation about life and motherhood, moderated by Washington Post reporter, Helena Andrews-Dyer.
This year's 3-day conference will be hybrid; a digital conference with on-the-ground elements, taking place in Washington, D.C. and Virginia.

Virtual conference attendees will REFUEL via the highly anticipated and engaged digital conference, REFRESH through hybrid elements via a Momcation at the host hotel, Eaton DC, RESTORE via virtual Sunday morning worship, cooking demo and brunch, and RELEASE at the Day 2 winery excursion.

The Momference® strives to provide Black mothers with a unique, engaging day full of fun and fellowship, equipping them with the self empowerment tools needed to live their best lives, while also providing access to a wide variety of products and services marketed towards moms of color via the Mommy Market.
"When we created District Motherhued®, we just wanted to create a space that we couldn't find—a space that we could see ourselves in, so we created our own," explains District Motherhued Co-Founder Nikki Osei-Barrett. "At The Momference® a diverse group of mothers from all over the country will be represented virtually and in the nation's capital, and we can't wait to welcome everyone, and celebrate the fact the we've not only survived, but in some cases, thrived amidst a pandemic."
"This could not be a more fitting time for moms to attend a mom conference centered on the idea of REVIVING! Parenting is hard on a regular day so toss in a pandemic and you have an immense need for a year long vacation, but since we can't have that, well, The Momference® is the next best thing," adds District Motherhued® Co-Founder, and The Momference® producer, Simona Noce Wright.
The Momference® is proudly sponsored by Amazon, Carol's Daughter, Values Partners, Sephora, Zenni Eyewear, Little Tikes, and local and national partners. For more information about The Momference®, please visit www.themomference.com.
