Welcome to the Momference® 2025...Nourish
To nourish is to sustain, to uplift, to pour into what cannot always be seen but is always felt deep within. It is the gentle warmth of encouragement, the quiet strength of connection, and the healing of our souls.
It is feeding our spirits with love, our minds with wisdom, and our hearts with belonging.
We draw from the well of Black women’s resilience, our shared stories, and our collective strength—nourishing one another so that we can pour love into our families and our communities.
As we gather, we uplift. As we nourish, we bloom. When we are full, we flourish. When we are strengthened, we soar.
This year, we nourish. We rise. We stand.
