Get to Know Us

Over thirty years ago, four young Black women met while working at ESSENCE Magazine.  The sisterfriends stayed in touch throughout the years even as each ventured into furthering career interests at other companies. The accomplished group of editors/writers would oftentimes meet at eateries several times a year to catch up on life.  As time progressed, there was one consistent theme in their conversation which was how one can age gracefully and soulfully in a society that worships youth?  Thus, the inception of 50BOLD.com, where a fabulous sisterpower collective decided to answer the aging question themselves through information designed to inform, inspire, and empower African Americans age 50 and over.
