Metro is set to inform, involve, and recharge moms with a Mother’s Day event dubbed “Metro MomCon,” a one-day gathering to inspire them to live their best lives despite the pandemic happening this Saturday (May 15).

The free event will take place on Zoom, and will cover panel discussions and workshops on parenting, food, home and living, relationships, and beauty.
 
Here are five things to learn from the first-ever “Metro MomCon”:
