October 9 is Ageism Awareness Day. This day is important to us as our organization's vision is to change the way society views aging. With that in mind, last month we launched Older Is Bolder, an initiative encouraging everyone to look beyond age, embrace growing older, and appreciate the impactful lives of older adults. The Boldmakers featured are real Chicagoland adults who unapologetically and joyfully embrace aging. Older Is Bolder reimagines views on aging, amplifies the visibility of older adults, celebrates age inclusivity, and challenges stereotypes. Stay curious, compassionate, involved. Meet the Boldmakers and join our journey: OlderIsBolder.com. #TalkAboutAgeism #OlderIsBolder

Each of the 10 Boldmakers featured is from a different Chicago neighborhood and is a positive force driving the conversation on aging forward.
