You GLOW Genny!!

“I’m not what you think a 63-year-old looks like!” Genny told us when she agreed to be part of a photoshoot for our new ad campaign.

Genny is a long-term supporter of Age Without Limits, and has experienced ageism personally, particularly at work. She says that in the media, especially adverts, the images that she sees of older people are not positive – just stereotypes of grey hair and a walking stick!

“As though when you hit 60 you are suddenly old and frail!” she says.

“People make a lot of assumptions about older people. Sometimes, if I’m going out, people say to me ‘you should dress for your age’. But what does it mean, to dress for my age?

“It’s about noticing what people are saying, the language that they are using, and having the confidence to say; you know what, I can stand up and say something about it.”

Well said, Genny! 👏👏👏
