BE YOUR DREAM

BE YOUR DREAM

In 1974, archaeologists in Ethiopia made a discovery that would change everything. Listening to the Beatles’ Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, they unearthed the skeleton of a 3-million-year-old female — the first known species to walk upright on two legs. They named her Lucy. She was, in every sense, the original trailblazer.

I created LUCY in her honor — and in honor of every woman over 50 who has refused to be made invisible.

For too long, women in the prime of their lives have been told, in ways both overt and insidious, that their moment has passed. I’ve heard this story from women of every background — women of extraordinary talent, resilience, and ambition, held back by the compounding forces of ageism, gender bias, and racism. Women who had every reason to soar, and every obstacle placed in their path.

LUCY exists to change that.

We are a community, a platform, and a movement — built for women who are ready to move from invisible to invincible. Here you will find resources, voices, and connections to help you push back, press forward, and claim the next chapter of your life on your own terms.

This is just the beginning.  We are so glad you are here.
