You’re surrounded by people, but somehow still… unseen.
You answer to a hundred names — mama, love, sis, ma’am, teacher, friend — but rarely your own.
You give until there’s nothing left, then quietly wonder where you went.
You have stories inside you, dreams you’ve folded away, words you’ve never said out loud.
This workshop is the soft, safe, structured way back to yourself.
We searched for the ancient archives of mothers — and found silence.
For most of human history, mothers’ voices lived in kitchens, bedsides, lullabies and recipes — then slowly faded. No grand library was built for them. No stone was carved with their names. Their wisdom passed into the bodies of the next generation, then disappeared.
The future mother deserves better.
In a world racing toward AI, automation and robotics, tomorrow’s mothers may grow up in villages that exist mostly online. They will need more than algorithms. They will need the human thread — real voices, portraits, dreams, translations, languages, films and extended stories of the mothers who came before them.
The Mom Archive is that village. A place where a future mother can come back to remember who she was, who we were, and what it meant to be human.
Every mother must leave her legacy behind — in her own voice, her own language, her own portrait, her own film.
“The moment you begin to articulate the story you have lived, you do not only understand yourself better as a mother. You also become lighter. You become clearer. You become impossible to forget.”
This is why mothers must stand up first — for themselves.
Three truths about the Mom Archive that will change how you see yourself
Why mothers' archives were never made in history
For centuries, mothers' voices were preserved by others — if they were preserved at all. In this workshop, we reveal the invisible reasons history left mothers out of the archive, and why that silence was never accidental.
Why we need the Mom Archive today
Today, a mother creates a lifetime of love, labor, lessons and dreams — and most of it disappears. You'll discover why now is the moment to build the world's first living archive of mothers, before another generation of stories is lost.

Mothers like you, finding themselves again
“Through Shikha's self-portrait process, I learned to recognise and harmonise that inner conflict, and the camera became a surprising mirror — reflecting my growth back to me. I'm deeply grateful for the clarity and confidence her guidance has brought into my life.”
— Donna Howald — Author, Transformational Life Coach & Mindful Movement Instructor
“5 days that took me from feeling self-conscious in front of a camera to curiosity about who I really see — the grip of 'perfection' finally letting go.”
— Jessica Lauren Acheson

Shikha KhannaTEDx Speaker · Author of The Selfie Trap · Founder, MUM
Shikha Khanna is a TEDx speaker, India-based portrait photographer and author of The Selfie Trap — a book that confronts the gap between the faces we perform online and the women we truly are. Trained at the International College of Professional Photography (ICPP), she is the founder of Mothers United Moment (MUM), a global movement that brought together 100 inspiring mothers from over 20 countries — Olympians, Air Force officers, scientists, healers and homemakers — into the landmark book "100 Self-Portraits, 100 Dreams," recognised with a letter of appreciation from the Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Through her self-portrait method, Shikha has personally guided 200+ mothers back to themselves — softly, fully, on their own terms.
