Hey there! I'm Mary – The Unapologetic Voice behind Fifty and Unfiltered

Let's get real for a minute, sister. Have you ever felt like you were the only one in the room? I know I have. As a proud African American woman and entrepreneur, I've often navigated spaces that weren't exactly built for women like us. But those experiences? They didn't define me; they fueled my fire. Now, I'm here to share my unfiltered story and create a space where you can share yours and where we can find comfort in our shared experiences.

Fifty and Unfiltered is more than just a blog and podcast. It's a conversation – a real, honest, heart-to-heart with your girlfriends about everything that matters to us as women stepping into this incredible chapter of life. Think of me as your guide, your cheerleader, and that friend who keeps it 100, even when it stings a little. We're diving deep into the things that are real for us: rediscovering love, navigating life's unexpected twists, embracing the journey of menopause, celebrating the joys (and maneuvering the challenges) of motherhood at any stage, and truly thriving in a world that sometimes forgets the power and beauty of women like us.

My mission is simple: to empower you, uplift your spirit, and fiercely and undoubtedly remind you that your best chapters are absolutely still being written. Our community is a judgment-free zone where we can laugh until our sides ache, shed a tear when needed, and own our stories—every glorious, messy, unfiltered bit of them.

Grab a virtual seat, pour yourself a cup of something delicious, and let's do this journey together. I'm so glad you're here. Don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments section on the blog pages. Click here.
