Starting as a model in the 1990s, Alexis Eizinas transitioned to a two-decade career in beauty retail design. Inspired by her mother's example, she embraced her silvering hair but struggled to find suitable products. During COVID-19, she realized the market gap and, in 2023, founded Silvering, the first North American beauty brand to provide cosmetics and hair care uniquely designed to amplify and never hide the true beauty of naturally silvering hair. Leveraging over 30 years of experience in the beauty industry and her experience trying to find products that worked with her own silvering hair, Alexis created a truly innovative and contemporary product line for the modern woman who has embraced her grays.
She launched Silvering in 2023. The company's tagline, Wisdom Is Beautiful, speaks volumes about Alexis's mission to change the way all women perceive silvering hair, to see it as a powerful, beautiful, outward expression of growing up.

Sarah Gristwood is a journalist and author committed to publicizing womenâs experiences throughout history. As a young journalist, she championed womenâs voices through outlets such as the Guardian Women's Page and as a founder member of Women in Journalism and The Womenâs Equality Party.

A graduate of Oxford University, she is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and of the RSA, who has been shortlisted for both the Marsh Biography Award and the Ben Pimlott Prize for Political Writing. Her most recent book, Secret Voices: A Year of Women's Diaries, is a captivating collection of extracts from womenâs diaries, looking back over four centuries to discover how womenâs experiences have changed down the years, and, of course, how they haven't.

Quotes
âOne aspect of this book of Secret Voices for me was that in some ways the women in it were voicing some of my own concerns, thoughts, and traumas.â
âFrustration is the single greatest emotion across all these generations.â
"Journaling was a huge part of personal growth for many of these women."
"A number of these women were voicing feelings, ambition, anger, that they weren't allowed to express elsewhere in their society."
âI love that, for a number of these women, the battles were small personal ones. Some, like Charlotte Forton, were fighting huge public battles. But others were just opening the doors, moving, moving the goalposts on in their own small ways.
"The immediate privacy of the diary form allowed them to voice those unacceptable feelings, anger, ambition, discontent."
"Self-expression is so important, and for women, keeping a diary or journal is a great way to tell your truth and perhaps, as we talked about, never share it."
