Senior America

In this project, I was interested in exploring older women aging with confidence as we are inundated with images of women in a much younger slice of life. After researching organizations for senior women I came upon the Ms. Senior America association whose motto is ‘Aging with Elegance’. I was drawn to the idea of seeing women 60 plus embracing age and community in a format usually associated with youth and stereotypes. This section of the project is a look at the Ms. Senior New York branch contestants, pageant winner and the Seasoned Steppers who are a dance troop involved with the organization.
