About Cassandra Washington 

As the founder of Sustah-Girl Chronicles, LLC, Cassandra Washington is a leading voice in the “Silver Travel” movement. With a career spanning education, publishing, and advertising, Cassandra leverages her multi-disciplinary expertise to connect women over 50 with purposeful travel and lifestyle content.

She is the author of Silver Suitcases: A Travel Planner for Women Over 50, a tool that demystifies solo and group travel for mature adventurers. Cassandra’s platform goes beyond sightseeing; it focuses on the intersection of travel and holistic wellness, encouraging women to nourish their minds, bodies, and souls through new experiences. From hiking and photography to ballet and writing, Cassandra embodies the active, curious lifestyle she promotes, making her a trusted guide for women redefining what it means to age with grace and grit.

Originally the creator of the 1990s comic book Sustah-Girl: Queen of the Black Age, Cassandra has evolved her mission from celebrating a fictional superhero to empowering real-life “sustahs” to embrace their own power through travel and wellness.

Cassandra has dedicated her life to empowering women to prioritize themselves and explore the world. Through her writing and coaching, she inspires a global community of Baby Boomer and Gen X women to embrace the “Adventures of Life After 50” with confidence, curiosity, and style.

Whether she is sharing insights from her travels along the Nile or offering travel and wellness tips, her mission is to demonstrate that midlife is not a conclusion but a vibrant new chapter of exploration. A Level 2 Life Coach and WITT-certified wellness traveler, Cassandra inspires her global community to prioritize their well-being and rediscover the world—one suitcase at a time.
