Raise your hand if 2020 challenged you. Yeah, us, too. Luckily, a year after everything shut down, Momentum is inviting Alabama women to join them for their largest virtual event ever. Focus 2021 is a 1.5-hour online conference happening March 31 from 11AM-12:30PM. Sign up today to reserve your spot.
Focus 2021: the big why
If hindsight is 20/20, 2020 feels like a blur. Momentum, a Birmingham-based leadership development organization, hosted its biennial conference March 11-12, 2020, just as the novel coronavirus was making its way toward our state.
And then, the very next day, life as we knew it shut down. With no prep, we became remote workers. Soon, many of us also became teachers, counselors, coaches and nurses.
As the months wore on, wave after wave of concerning news washed over us: COVID cases rising, cries for social justice, economic strife.
Now that 2021 is here, it’s time to focus on a new future. We can incorporate all that we learned in 2020 and chart a new path forward.
Focus 2021: what’s happening

Who’ll be speaking at Focus 2021
Risha Grant and Robyn Benincasa, two keynote speakers from the 2020 Momentum Conference, will be giving encore performances.
Risha Grant
Risha Grant is passionate about correcting societal-isms. Whether it’s racism, sexism, classism or plain old stupidism, she’s on a mission. Her goal: to expose the value of Diversity & Inclusion.
Grant creates a fun, laid-back, real-talk atmosphere. Her signature line is “companies don’t have diversity problems; they have people problems.” And she works together to help companies solve their people problems.
Want to learn more? Check out her book, That’s BS! How Bias Synapse Disrupts Inclusive Cultures and the Power to Attract Diverse Markets. She’s all about leading people and companies across the country to new places of respect and understanding, and she’s won a host of awards along the way.
Robyn Benincasa
Robyn Benincasa’s bio is filled with highlights:
- World Champion Eco-Challenge Adventure Racer
- New York Times Bestselling Author
- Founder of the 501c3 Project Athena Foundation (Survivors of medical and/or traumatic challenges to Athletes!)
- 3x Guinness World Record Distance Paddler
- Proud Owner of 2 Metal ‘Bionic Hips’
- Full-Time San Diego Firefighter
With all that experience under her belt, Robyn Benincasa *definitely* knows a thing or two about creating Human Synergy— “that magic that allows groups of ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things together.”
Benincasa knows a thing or two about what it takes to build a world class team that can succeed against the odds.
