TEDxAtlanta

The best way to honor mothers? Truly understanding them.

This means amplifying their voices, making them feel seen, listening to their stories, and accepting their realities about motherhood–the good and the bad.

We’re sharing 10 TEDx Talks–given by moms, but intended for everyone–that show the unfiltered realities of motherhood today. From maternal health disparities to the myth of the perfect mom to rebuilding a new identity as a mom, these TEDx Talks shine a light on the moments of motherhood we don’t talk about enough. Watch them here: https://www.tedxatlanta.com/topic/society/this-mothers-day-lets-honor-mothers-by-understanding-their-reality/

This Mother’s Day, take a few minutes to listen, learn, and understand a mom in your life. Happy Mother’s Day to all our moms in the TEDxAtlanta community! ❤️❤️❤️

Applications for the main conference are due today!

Angle: The Bold, the Brave, the Unbreakable is more than a theme. We pay tribute to the visionaries, reformers and systems thinkers redefining what’s possible across Georgia’s most vital industries: from fintech to film, biohealth to education, cleantech to cybersecurity. We spotlight the doers, disrupters and storytellers who meet complexity with clarity and challenge with courage.

Oh what a night!

Our team hosted more than 70 participants at the 2026 season’s first TEDxAtlanta Salon on Tuesday, April 21 at Plywood Place in Historic West End. We were expecting a max of 45!

The premise for the evening was simple: reframe volunteerism as a form of philanthropy to help nonprofits build capacity to move their mission forward by connecting them with skilled volunteers.

Hat tip to the nonprofit leaders for putting your trust in us.
