LOVE, LABOR & FURY
An evening of raw conversation, radical creativity, and reimagining motherhood.
Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring author Minna Dubin (Mom Rage) and podcast host & writer Kaitlin Solimine (Empire of Glass, The Postpartum Production podcast) hosted by Jennifer Desrosiers (founder of LANEY & LU and Altitude Companies) and Meg Leonard (author of the book of lullabies),

MEET MINNA DUBIN
Who’s Minna Dubin | Meet the Voice Behind the Rage
Leading voice on the cultural crisis of mom rage
Featured in The New York Times, Oprah Daily, NPR, and more
Has taken mom rage from the page to Good Morning America
Author of MOM RAGE: The Everyday Crisis of Modern Motherhood
Turns maternal fury into feminist fuel for systemic change
Minna Dubin is the leading feminist voice on mom rage, transforming what’s often silenced into a global cultural conversation. Her unflinching essays and media appearances—from The New York Times to Good Morning America—shine a light on the emotional cost of caregiving and the systems that fail mothers. Her debut book, MOM RAGE: The Everyday Crisis of Modern Motherhood, is both a personal reckoning and a radical call to action for anyone who’s ever felt consumed by love, labor, and fury.
Mom Rage is a raw, unflinching, and often darkly funny exploration of the anger so many mothers feel—and are taught to suppress. Through personal stories and in-depth interviews with moms from all walks of life, Minna Dubin exposes rage not as a failure, but as a natural response to the impossible demands of modern caregiving. This book is a cultural wake-up call, a permission slip, and a battle cry for better support, deeper empathy, and real change.
