When I was 31, I decided to embrace my naturalgray hair.

When I sat down in the chair, though, my longtime stylist asked, Why the gray?

Thankfully, a simple search of the Internet introduced me to the Silver Sisters movement.

At its core, its a shift from shame and anti-aging rhetoric to liberation and radical acceptance.

It allows for commentary on the way we view and speak about aging.

The community provides the proven remedy of strength in numbers and raising our voices as a collective.

It focuses on lifting, encouraging, and supporting one another in life.

Its doing what works for you and what makes you happy and not worrying about what other people think.

Which isnt always easy, but its always worth it.

Honestly it was hard to find other Silver Sisters who looked like me.

Im of indigenous descent with curly hair, darker features.

But as the Silver Sisters community has proven, it is not.

Ultimately, the movement is about so much more than just hair.
