You may know about this group but frankly, I’d never heard of it and now that I have, I want to make sure every Black woman knows about it! What am I talking about? Sisters from AARP Soul Sanctuary!
We all know AARP, right? AARP is the nation’s largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age. With a nationwide presence and nearly 38 million members, AARP strengthens communities and advocates for what matters most to families: health security, financial stability and personal fulfillment. So the fact that AARP created Sisters from AARP Soul Sanctuary is no small feat. In their own words:
“Our writers and social media team members are opening a space where we black women can share real talk and advice about what matters to us,” said Editor In Chief Claire McIntosh.
“This is a meaningful milestone in AARP’s continuing commitment to authentically, intentionally engage and support diverse audiences,” said Edna Kane Williams, Senior Vice President, Multicultural Leadership. “African American women are thirsting for information about how to live our best lives. AARP is committed to being that go-to resource.”
Part of the digital newsletter and community, Sisters From AARP, this group provides a safe and supportive space for women to share their journeys of health, wellness, happiness, and self-love. Founded on August 18, 2018 by AARP, the group has become a cherished sanctuary for its members.
