The Woman Behind the Work

Hey There.
I'm Mary.

I am a 60 year old African American entrepreneur, content creator, and the woman who got tired of having quiet conversations alone in her head and decided to say them out loud instead.

My journey through the isolating experience of being a single, brown-skinned woman navigating predominantly white spaces, while entering my 50s, inspired me to create Fifty and Unfiltered.

With a background in civil rights compliance, contract compliance, and public administration spanning more than 18 years, I spent my career advocating for others. Now I am advocating for us.

Our Purpose

The Mission Behind Fifty and Unfiltered

Fifty and Unfiltered exists because Black women over 50 deserve a space that reflects our real lives. Not the sanitized version. The actual truth of what it means to navigate love, loss, health, money, and identity when the world expects us to be invisible.

Here, we are not invisible. We are the whole conversation. We hold each other up and refuse to let anyone rush us through this chapter.

Your story and your strength matter. And I want to hear it.Mary Geter

With more than 35 years in business management, contract compliance, civil rights, and public administration, Mary has built a career advocating for others in spaces that were not always built for women like her. Fifty and Unfiltered is her independent creative space: personal commentary, honest stories, and a community of women who are done being quiet.
