The woman who won’t age quietly: Meet Karen Arthur


Listen Later

U.K. based Karen Arthur refuses to become invisible as she ages. On the contrary, she's brighter, bolder and more vibrant than ever. And she wants that confidence for other women who are aging – especially Black women. So, as host and founder of the podcast “Menopause Whilst Black” Karen is opening up a long-overdue conversation about the intersectionality of racism, aging and menopause.

In this episode, Karen shares her journey of overcoming domestic abuse, mental health issues and generational cycles of trauma to arrive where she is today: 63, Black, in the midst of menopause and fabulous!
