Description

Author Adiba Nelson discusses her book AIN'T THAT A MOTHER: POSTPARTUM, PALSY, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN Please join us for an evening filled with heart, laughter, connection and maybe a few tears. From pasties to postpartum depression, AIN'T THAT A MOTHER is not your average motherhood memoir-and Adiba is not your average mother. For Adiba Nelson, the journey to parenthood started with a big bang and continues with a breakdown (or two) and several "why?" questions for God. Mom to a new baby with high medical needs and with a slew of hardships that just won't quit, she set out on a reckoning that was just as generational as it was personal. Along the way, Adiba never loses her heart or her humor. This is a true love story, but the kind about a woman loving herself enough to change the course of her life for herself, her child, and the women after her as well as before. Adiba will be available after the conversation to sign books. Badass: /ˈbadˌas/ noun a formidably impressive person.One who jumps, and then prays for wings on the way downAdiba NelsonAdiba Nelson is the woman who brings as much truth to power in her writing, as she does in her speaking. Having been referred to as “inspirational” on more than one occasion, Adiba shares her deepest secrets with her audience, at the same time giving them the courage to live their most authentic, purpose driven life. She has written, without pause, about her life long struggle with food addiction, her disdain for her daughter's communication device, and about watching her mother transition from a vibrant, throw caution to the wind woman, to a woman who struggles to find her words, and smiles a little crookedly as the result of traumatic brain injury. Adiba has traveled the country speaking on various topics, but she really shines when discussing the importance of diversity/inclusion and women’s rebellion as an act of self-love and power. Her signature keynote, “The Beauty of Adult Rebellion” has been greeted with standing ovations time and time again, as it seamlessly meshes the topics she’s passionate about with hilarious, touching, and deeply personal stories.
