SO6 Episode 02: Ilana Landsberg-Lewis - Happily Getting Older

With "thousands of grandmothers' voices and stories" in her head, Ilana Landsberg-Lewis, a Canadian labor and human rights lawyer and passionate women's rights advocate, started the "Grandmothers on the Move" podcast over two years ago. Fifty-three engaging episodes later, she's already succeeded in her goal to "kick old stereotypes to the curb" through conversations with astonishing older women. Ilana worked at the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) for many years before joining with her father in 2003 to co-found the groundbreaking Stephen Lewis Foundation to partner directly with community-based groups confronting the HIV-AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa. She is an ardent mother who sees motherhood as "an emotional reality and a political identity." (Yes!) And at 55, Ilana is "happily getting older."
