Fighting Ageism: NextTribe Takes Manhattan and Says “Screw Invisibility”

Last week in New York, we gathered accomplished speakers and a vibrant sold-out crowd to say “Screw Invisibility!” to those who ignore women our age.

They say if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. We hope that’s true because it sure felt like we connected with a vibrant crowd of cool women at our first Out Loud event in Manhattan last week. It was an energized, sold-out, standing-room-only gathering of the Tribe.

Thanks to our sponsors: UNtied, Tito's Handmade Vodka and PANYC Salon.

There was talking, debating, laughing, hugging, and a little bit of crying as we got together to network and make ourselves heard. Eight fired-up speakers gave voice to our goal of telling the world “Screw Invisibility! Watch Older Women Change the World.” To make sure more of the world heard us, we streamed the event on Facebook Live.

A new TikTok filter creates a movie-star version of your face. This sucks for women our age who already feel so much pressure to look younger.

The #MeToo movement seems to have spurred many daughters of well-known men to re-examine that key relationship in books, films, and plays.
