She's absolutely right. The new wave of influencers are going to be 60+. Here are 15 creators over 65 I love following. Because the best role models don't make us wish we were younger… They make us excited about what's ahead and what's possible. ✨
America survives because, in every generation, honest citizens organize, demand change, and refuse to accept the unacceptable. Working together, we rebuild America. ~ People's Guide to Rebuilding American Democracy Happy 4th! 🎆🎉🎇🇺🇲 Stay cool and stay safe. ✌️💖🙋🏼♀️

Ageism doesn’t stand a chance when generations connect. In my newest solo episode of Don't Be Caged By Your Age, I explore how intergenerational relationships dismantle ageism — in friendships, at work, and in life. 👇 www.dontbecagedbyyourage.com/how-intergen...

What does aging with wit + wisdom look like? It looks like shouting “I’M EIGHTY!” in the streets of Paris. 🇫🇷✨ Melinda Blau is 82 and absolutely delicious. Author of The Wisdom Whisperers, she’s still writing, still questioning, still challenging ageism & still learning from women in their 90s.

🐴 Pastures are for horses - not humans. Somewhere along the way, we were taught that once we hit 65, we’re supposed to slow down, fade out & head for the proverbial pasture. But life after 65 isn’t a retreat ... it’s a reinvention. ✨ www.dontbecagedbyyourage.com/pastures-are...
