Explore and Engage
In 2021, Unerased | Black Women Speak conducted groundbreaking research highlighting the glaring absence of Black women aged 55 and older in prime-time media, revealing how these exceptional voices have long been overlooked due to racism, sexism, and ageism. In direct response, we launched the 55+ Directory—a vibrant repository showcasing the diverse expertise, stories, and contributions of Black women over 55.
But visibility alone is not enough. We now proudly introduce the 55+ Collective, a fresh, action-oriented community designed to foster deeper connections, meaningful collaborations, and active advocacy. The Collective harnesses our collective wisdom and strength to amplify the impact of Black women in leadership, culture, education, business, and social justice.
At the heart of our Collective are the 55+ Ambassadors, a special group of influential leaders and changemakers who champion our mission, drive initiatives, and inspire transformative change. Through mentorship, strategic partnerships, and targeted advocacy, our Ambassadors ensure that the legacies and achievements of Black women 55 and older are celebrated, preserved, and propelled forward for generations to come.
Join the 55+ Collective to connect, influence, and lead—together, we're redefining what it means to soar beyond 55.
