  Carla Black is a proud wife and mom of a zesty tween girl, discovering the unapologetic magic that happens after 40.

After dedicating over a decade to working for one of media’s most influential moguls, she exchanged her media credentials for the fast-paced tech start-up and venture capital world, and morphed into VP of “a little bit of this and a little bit of that.” While Carla continues to learn how to master the art of saying “no,” and the management of her own essence; she’s become an evangelist for ageless living—using her own bucket list to serve as an inspirational platform for others
