WASHINGTON, DC—AARP today is launching “Sisters from AARP,” a new digital newsletter celebrating Gen-X and Baby Boomer African American women. The weekly newsletter, reaching subscribers every Tuesday, features entertaining, informative and inspirational content created for black women by black women.

“Sisters from AARP is created specifically for Gen X and Boomer black women to offer fashion, health, career, and relationship advice in a fun, relatable voice that speaks to them,” said Myrna Blyth, Senior Vice President and Editorial Director, AARP Media.

 “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.”
