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.

Yes, Jen Sincero is an Actual Badass In Person

She wrote the book on how to live your life boldly, and in Santa Fe, 14 NextTribers had the chance to hear Jen Sincero’s blunt, sassy words of wisdom.

When your kid leaves for college, it’s not the end of anything. It’s the beginning of a long, tortured process that may or may not lead to an empty nest.

Or maybe it was pheromones. Or a birthday wish granted. Still, sometimes the planets align and the world sees you differently. As you feel inside.

We raise our glass to the Veuve Clicquot widow, the first modern businesswoman who gave us champagne and launched countless celebrations.
