As the years go by, we often find ourselves caught off guard by the arrival of certain holidays. Mother's Day is no exception. It seems to sneak up on us, leaving us scrambling to come up with the perfect way to show our appreciation for the amazing mothers and mother figures in our lives. But fear not, because we've got a few unique ideas that are sure to make this special day one to remember.
First up, we have the Strength of a Woman Festival. This event is a perfect combination of two things that many moms love: great music and supporting small businesses, particularly those owned by Black women. With an all-star lineup featuring the likes of Lauryn Hill and the one and only Mary J. Blige, this weekend is bound to be one for the books. And in addition to the live performances, there will also be summits covering a variety of topics with special guests such as Mara Brock Akil, Angela Yee, and Ciara.
For the more creatively inclined, the Black Girl Art Show in Philadelphia is a must-see. This national exhibition showcases the talents of Black women artists, using various forms of media. It's the perfect pre- or post-dinner stop and will add a touch of culture and elegance to any Mother's Day celebration.
Looking for a selfie-worthy moment? Look no further than The Museum for Black Girls in Denver. This immersive experience features various exhibits, including a stunning floral room and a chance to relive nostalgic memories. It's the perfect opportunity for your mom to update her Facebook profile picture and make some new, unforgettable memories.
And for all the soul music lovers out there, we have a special treat for you. If you happen to be in Atlanta, treat your mom to a night with the legendary Atlantic Starr, along with special guests Confunkshun. It's sure to be a "oo-wee" good time that your mom will cherish forever.
So there you have it, a few out-of-the-ordinary experiences to make this Mother's Day one to remember. And if you need even more ideas, check out our Mother's Day Gift Guide featuring 11 books that tell a story of Black motherhood.
