Who among us hasn’t been horrified by the reports of how financier Jeffrey Epstein has long been grooming and sexually abusing under-age females—and evading appropriate justice? But did you know that for two years now, an investigative journalist for the Miami Herald did more than feel outraged.

Julie K. Brown, 57, has been chasing the truth: She found and interviewed women who said that in the past, they were part of Epstein’s depraved sex trafficking. Many of these women were dealing with a swirl of intense emotions; she supported them and helped them be heard.

NextTribe is a travel and events company for women 45+. We believe that now—at midlife—is our shaken-Etch-A-Sketch moment, when the slate is once again blank. Today, our conversations question which direction we are headed in and how to get there. How to drink it all in and how to give back. We’d like your voices and humor to be heard, your ideas to be shared, and for you to hear ours. This tribe is one of contemplation, inspiration, wit, and action. Though we may have men in our lives, we believe it’s invigorating to touch base at a time like this with people who have the same sagging parts and swinging moods. Now that we have more time for adventure, more experience for new life paths, more wisdom to connect the dots in our histories, and less care about what people think, we’re sure these coming years can be a glorious stretch. Spiritual and irreverent, creative and courageous, this site, these postings, will serve as our cave drawings and warrior paint. Please join us on our walkabout.
