LET’S TALK LIFE AFTER 50
Remember when magazines felt like they were written by robots? Yeah, we hate that too.
Hi! I’m Patricia Atkinson-Brown, and back in 2009, I had this wild idea: create a magazine that feels like chatting with your best friend over coffee. Now we’re back, with a fresh look and the same heart.
Meet Your New Favorite Magazine
Ever dreamed of hanging out with The Temptations? Or swapping stories with “The Iceman” Jerry Butler? We did exactly that. We’ve shared laughs with William “Poogie” Hart of the Delfonics, nodded along to The Stylistics’ tales, and soaked up wisdom from legends like Melba Moore, Ray Goodman and Brown, and The Manhattans. We even got to know the remarkable Congressman Elijah Cummings before he left us – the kind of conversation that stays with you forever.
But here’s the thing that really gets me excited…
Right in the heart of every issue, there’s something special we call the “50+Centerfold.” It’s not what you’re thinking! It’s our way of celebrating real people living their best lives after 50. Picture this: stunning photos of men and women just like you, owning their story, sharing their spark.
And speaking of you…
We’re looking for our next star. Someone whose eyes light up when they talk about life. Someone who knows that being 50+ isn’t about slowing down – it’s about finally having the confidence to speed up.
Could that be you? (We think it might be.)
Drop us a line. Share your story. Let’s show the world what life after 50 really looks like.
Because trust me, it looks pretty amazing from where we’re standing.
Read Their Stories In Their Own Words’
Real Stories. Real People. Real Life
Life doesn’t come with a filter, and neither do we.
Every day, brave souls trust us with their stories – raw, real, and unforgettable. Like the warrior who declared “My Breasts Don’t Define Me,” or the eye-opening journey through “Homeless in America.” We’ve laughed with those embracing “The Art of Turning 60,” and held hands (virtually) with women facing their darkest fears about cancer.
We’ve sat in hospital rooms where survivors of aneurysms and strokes shared their “Truly A Blessing!” moments. We’ve gone behind the scenes with DC legend Bruce Johnson of WUSA 9, getting real about life’s ups and downs.
And when it comes to health? We’re not shy. Our doctors talk straight – about everything from gut health to heart problems, women’s health to aging gracefully. No sugar-coating, just honest conversations about the stuff that matters.
Got a story burning in your soul? A triumph that needs telling? A challenge you’ve faced head-on?
This is your space. Your platform. Your voice.
Because sometimes, the most powerful stories aren’t in history books – they’re in our everyday lives.
