'The Mothers Ball' Conference To Debut In New York City

Ms. Lauryn Hill will headline the inaugural edition of The Mothers Ball from December 14-15, 2019 in NYC. The Mothers Ball event features discussion panels with experts, authors, leaders, celebrities, as well as art installations, and a special panel led by Mr. & Mrs. King, human rights advocates and community activists. This first-of-its kind event is designed to support, uplift, and empower women to advocate for themselves, their families and their communities.

The mission of the Mothers Ball is to create an enduring global community of empowered women and mothers celebrating and nurturing the feminine spirit. Launching in Dec. 2019, The Mothers Ball will scale globally with Mothers Ball events in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Stockholm, Sweden, in 2020, and Seoul, South Korea, and Bangkok, Thailand, planned for 2021.

The Vendor Village will deliver the hottest gifts from leading beauty, skincare, décor, lifestyle, parenting, and children's brands.
