About this event

Join three mother-authors for a conversation on motherhood, leadership, career reinvention, and caregiving. Books, Q&A, and connection.

About this Event

Join Dr. Laura Marie Rivera at Armoire for a conversation with authors Keeonna Harris, Cassie Leonard, and Sharmin Banu—three Mothers whose work spans memoir, engineering, executive leadership, career reinvention, systemic change, and the lived realities of caregiving.

Together, they’ll explore how Motherhood shapes leadership, how caregiving influences professional identity and ambition, whose experiences are treated as expertise, and what changes when Mothers claim authority over their own stories and careers.

The evening will include a moderated conversation, audience Q&A, light snacks, community connection, book signing, and a Dress for Your Next Chapter shopping experience with a curated Armoire rack. All attendees will also receive a complimentary month of Armoire membership.
