About the Book
Midlife Flyness: Writing Your Own First-Class Ticket to Aging Well
By Kendra Lendsey
Midlife Flyness is part memoir, part manifesto, and all truth. Written for Black women 40 and up who are ready to stop asking for permission and start living out loud, this book is a bold invitation to age on your own terms.
Through personal stories, cultural commentary, and unapologetic insight, Kendra Lendsey takes readers on a journey through grief, joy, reinvention, and the power of visibility. This isn’t about surviving midlife. It’s about flying through it with clarity, confidence, and community.
From unlearning respectability to reclaiming joy, Midlife Flyness speaks to women who are tired of being erased and ready to be seen. It’s not a crisis. It’s a calling. And this is your boarding pass.
