Slaying the Ageism Dragon with Janine Vanderburg

from Older Women & Friends: Stories of Aging Well

Send us a Text Message.Janine Vanderburg is one of those women I’d want to be on my team. I don’t know if she can play pickleball, but I do know that her commitment to, as she says, “slaying the ageism dragon”  is vital—some might say all-consuming. She does a lot of great stuff, but it is “Changing The Narrative,” the organization she founded in 2018 that has been the leader in working to change how people think, talk, and act about ageism, that has garnered national recognition.  And that’s no easy task because the stereotypes about older people in this country run deep.  This episode is a rousing exploration of what makes Janine tick and how her childhood helped groom her to call out what’s “unfair” and to do something about it. https://changingthenarrativeco.org/intergenerational-conversations/in-the-news/https://medium.com/@janine_44604https://www.ucdenver.edu/change-makers/people/janine-vanderburghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/janinevanderburg/https://twitter.com/encore_janine?lang=enhttps://encorenetwork.org/janine-vanderburg/https://encore.org/janine-vanderburg/https://www.facebook.com/janine.vanderburg/
