Silver, Seen & Unstoppable: Mia Maugé on Owning Midlife, Breaking Barriers & Becoming a Mermaid (S7 E5)

Mia Maugé doesn’t wait to be seen — she takes up space. At 59, the silver-haired model and age-positivity advocate is redefining what midlife looks like. Her journey is a masterclass in reinvention. Once the Director of PR & Comms for the legendary Notting Hill Carnival, she spent decades behind the scenes — amplifying voices, curating culture, and shaping stories. But in her 50s, as lockdown pressed pause on the world, Mia stepped into her own spotlight.What began as a simple act — posting her silver hair and radiant, lived-in beauty on Instagram — became a movement. Today, she’s a sought-after model, speaker, and age-positive trailblazer, collaborating with brands like L’Oréal Paris, MAC, and Armani. She’s graced global campaigns, spoken on panels for TikTok and Burberry, contributed to Who What Wear, and even became Disney’s first Black, silver-haired mermaid in The Little Mermaid.In this episode, Mia shares how a chance meeting on Portobello Road sparked her unexpected modelling career, what it means to claim visibility as a woman of colour in midlife, and why it’s never too late to start the chapter you were meant to write.Her story is bold, cinematic, and a rallying cry for every woman ready to step into her power — silver hair, smile lines, and all.🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. 📲 Follow us: @youarenotinvisibleafter50 🔗 Follow Mia: @miamauge | www.miamauge.com#YouAreNotInvisibleAfter50 #YouAreNotInvisibleAfter50Podcast #UnseenNoMore #MiaMaugé #SilverAndSeen #MidlifeReinvention #WomenOver50 #SecondActPower #BeautyWithoutExpiration #FearlessAndVisible#BeautyAtEveryAge #BoldAtAnyAge #RealWomenRealStories #AgeingUnapologetically #IAmKiranKumar
