The notion of “The Forgotten Generation” doesn’t exist when you look over the magnificence the B's in Mod Bettie’s 40 Over 40 campaign radiate. Go online, and you’ll find articles that describe the importance of aging in silence, preserving femininity that is threatened in the social eyes, but what we’ve strived to portray in our magazine is the rejection that womxnhood is lost with age. The B's who participated in the 40 Over 40 project are just a small example of the queens and icons who championed the way to empowerment not only in the workforce, but on a substantial social scale. Making moves in silence at times — but let’s be real — you don’t hear a tree growing from the roots. Those like the ones in this magazine have set a precedent for the generations that come after them. We hoped to capture the magnitude of importance that womxn and individuals over 40 carry, and as you’ll see, they had absolutely no issue with harnessing their power.
