Claims this source supports

• Anna Mullins (@a_mullinsphotography) turned 55 and became a black-and-white photographer; she is working on a series called The Menopause Effect: interviews and photography of Appalachian women who want to tell their stories. ('Mullins became a photographer. ... Menopause Effect. Interviews and photography of Appalachian women who want to tell their stories. It's been incredible.')
• The series surfaced in an Aug 2026 Upworthy roundup of a 700+ comment Threads thread (Kari Bliss) asking Gen X women to share reinvention stories - a documentary counter-signal to the urban, white-collar menopause media boom.
• Cultural/documentary source (tier 2): used for the provenance and existence of The Menopause Effect and the rural-representation gap; not a medical source.
