Diva: A woman focused on her divine assignment, operating strategically and slaying her goals. This is a definition shared at the Momathon Conference, I recently attended in Atlanta, Georgia. The event was a great opportunity to connect with Moms from around the country. Workshops focused on the importance of self-care, mental and physical health and how to start a business. There were Moms from various professions, including: lawyers, ministers, doctors and stay at home Moms. Although they may have come from different cities and different backgrounds, the conference coordinators hoped all would leave as members of the Momathon tribe who had an aversion to settling for less!
The Momathon Conference was founded by Christina Garrett, an active wife, business owner and Mom of five. This international speaker and workshop presenter has been featured on various media platforms, including Essence, the Washington Post and Forbes. This was the 9th year for the faith-based conference and Christina hoped all of the Moms left encouraged and ready to go back home and share their divine purpose. "The Momathon Conference is all about you...When ladies say YES and come into this space, they are saying yes to more than just a weekend off or some workshop time, but instead saying yes to what's possible for them in the future". Women who attend leave empowered by the amazing speakers, conversations and the positive energy exhibited by Christina and her tribe of supporters and volunteers. "We have you surrounded, we want you to know you're supported and everything you want to accomplish is possible", she says
During Christina's workshop, she presented the Pillars of Productivity. These ideas could serve Moms well as we continue to problem solve with our family:
1. Create a Family Vision - The corner stone for all of your plans
2. Communicate Your Needs - Tell your loved ones what you need
3. Delegate Unnecessary Tasks - Ask for help
4. Elevate Your Movement - Where you are going will be Bigger
I left the conference excited to share ideas with Moms who are my family members, friends and co-workers. I was also blessed to meet new friends at the conference who are now members of my Tribe!
