HOPE Media Brand · 20 Years of Becoming
THE
HopeWriter Circle
We are calling in the voices of women 40+ — writers, storytellers, experts, and thought leaders — who are ready to share what life, leadership, healing, and experience have taught them.
At HOPE, we don't just publish stories.
We create space for women to be seen, heard, and remembered.
WHO WE ARE
A home for women who are just getting started
The HopeWriter Circle is HOPE Media Brand's community for Black women writers, storytellers, and thought leaders 45 and over. This is not just a contributor program — it is a sisterhood built on the belief that midlife is not a finish line. It is a runway.
For 20 years, HOPE has amplified the voices of purpose-driven women. Now we are opening a dedicated space for the women who have lived enough, learned enough, and have something powerful to say.
“The woman I am at 50 has things to say that the woman at 30 could never have imagined.”
THE HOPEWRITER CIRCLE
"Your story is not behind you. It is the foundation everything is built on."
