Modern Parenting Celebrates Women’s Month With EmpowerHer: Conversations Reimagined

In honor of Women’s Month, Modern Parenting gathers moms and experts in their field to talk about the many changes in women’s experiences

The world is changing. Women have worked hard for it; workplaces, studies, and even cultures have begun to reexamine traditions to become more flexible to women’s experiences. But understanding those changes is a different story. During Modern Parenting’s EmpowerHer Talk at Single Origin in Estancia Mall, Capitol Commons, last March 26, 2025, moms who are experts in their field gathered to share their insights on the changes and plans for what women can do for their families and communities.

Our panel of amazing experts at the EmpowerHer talk received tokens of appreciation: a very coveted skincare set from Clé De Peau Beauté and beautiful and fragrant flower bouquets from Designer Blooms

How Moms EmpowerHer

The workplace has already broken a few barriers. Moms are now joining the workforce, breastfeeding rooms being put up, and mentors are being more understanding of family duties and setups, which are just some of the many changes that have been made by women for their fellow women. Stories of these changes and how they affected them were shared by some of the speakers, such as Grab Philippines’ Booey Bonifacio, U-Go’s Arianne Kader-Cu, and Barchan Architecture’s Ar. Nikki Buensalido.

This very informative and engaging panel discussion, sponsored by Grab Philippines, really opened our audiences’ eyes to the realities that women, no matter the rank, are faced with in the work place.

Single Origin Café served as a cozy space to relax and connect over soul-warming coffee and hearty meals. Whether you’re discussing women’s impact in the workplace or simply chatting about fashion and style, the perfect brew makes every conversation better. With expertly crafted coffee that blends the finest beans and brewing methods, every cup from Single Origin café is an experience to savor.

To make it more fun, guests had a delicious treat from Single Origin while receiving loot bags and lovely giveaways from Watsons Baby, The Slim Firm, Print & Press, Healthy Human, Cetaphil, Ora by Solā, Sunnies Face, Hokage Mom, and Fishta.

But wait, there’s more! 

Moms got to bring home personalized souvenirs from the Print and Press booth. They also played roulette at The Slim Firm’s Booth.

We ended the program by drawing raffle winners for relaxing treatments from Culture Salon and Centro Holistico, skincare sets from Cle de Peau Beauté, and flower arrangements from Designer Blooms
