Ageism

There are many hundreds of “-isms” out there which, if we are lucky, will not impact us directly. Racism, sexism, ableism and anti-Semitism are among the more common, and whilst most won't impact us directly, we can all understand their devastating impact on society. However, ageism is the one “ism” that more than likely will impact us all.It is incumbent upon all of us, especially us Boldies to help reverse ageism.

Lets change the narrative together.And remember, to say we are, not we were; and I am not I was.
