Hi Caitlin,

Vogue's recent coverage of Gen X women owning their power — from Hollywood to beauty — caught my eye. You're documenting something real: this generation isn't fading into the background, they're just getting started.

Elise Neal embodies exactly what Vogue is spotlighting. At 28 years in Hollywood with 8 NAACP nominations, she's pivoting from just being in the conversation to leading it. Her anti-aging beauty content on TikTok (208K followers) shows Gen X women they don't need to chase youth — they need to celebrate their era.

What makes this interesting for Vogue: Elise's audience is 60% Gen X women with serious spending power, and they trust her because she's been authentic since Scream 2. When she talks beauty or wellness, it's not influencer speak — it's from someone who's been working under Hollywood lights for decades.

She just wrapped filming for Peacock and returns to BET's The Black Hamptons, so there's natural entertainment hooks. But the real story is how she's redefining what it means to age in the public eye.

I'd love to send over her audience breakdown and some recent content that shows why Gen X is having their moment.

Best,
Mavi

P.S. Her St. Jude work adds another authentic layer if Vogue wants to explore celebrity philanthropy beyond the surface.
