unimpressed, and feeling a little bit like ENOUGH!!!! after reading yet another 30 under 30 list. Maybe it was because we weren’t on it, or maybe it was yet another example of society’s unhealthy obsession with youth, but we got that silly blog off and moved on to the next 10 stories of the day.
I think about that piece often though, especially while concepting this Age Issue, because though it’s dripping with sarcasm, we wrote it because we were tired of the way 20-somethings were forced to contend with aging. And now, as an older millennial, it’s a little more serious—from making more money (Are Millennials Secretly Rich?) to grappling with taboos around appearance (Forget the Grays—Hair Loss Is the Most Significant Change After 40) to what happens after achieving success at a young age (They Got Everything They Wanted By 30. Then What?).
Reading our cover star Eva Longoria’s thoughts brings me solace. “For me, age is just a number, but I’m excited,” Longoria says. “I refuse to believe my greatest success is behind me.” Do you agree? Disagree? Shoot me a note at @nikkiogun on Instagram—I’d love to discuss.
Eva, Everlasting

If you want to see me at my most earnest and tender,
I highly recommend joining me for a run. I took up the sport 10 years ago this year and have experienced thrilling highs, humbling lows, seen the world (literally—I have run everywhere from Tokyo to Thessaloniki) and learned valuable life lessons thanks to the act of consistently lacing up and putting one foot in front of the other.
When it comes to women’s sports, we’re in a historic moment. And so, there was only one cover star choice
for our Women In Sports issue: A’ja Wilson, the supernova center for the Las Vegas Aces who is leading the WNBA to new heights. She’s a two-time champion, two-time MVP, and two-time Olympian, but it’s the changes she’s pushing for off the court—like speaking out against the gender pay gap—that strike me as most impressive. “When people ask me what I do and why, it’s like I’m not just living for myself, but for generations before me,” she tells cover story writer and Marie Claire executive editor, Andrea Stanley.
