Don't Be Caged By Your Age

EP 61 Uplifting LGBTQ+ Elders


Listen Later

Please join me for a special Pride Month episode on the Don't Be Caged By Your Age featuring Sadiya Abjani, Director of Training and Instructional Design at SAGE - the country’s oldest and largest organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ elders.

🏳️‍🌈 As we celebrate Pride, it's vital to honor and uplift the trailblazers who made this movement possible - many of whom now face unique challenges as they age. 

From housing discrimination and social isolation to health disparities and lifelong stigma, LGBTQ+ elders deserve our attention, advocacy, and action.

In this live conversation, we explored:
• The specific needs and challenges faced by LGBTQ+ older adults
• How SAGE is creating inclusive programs and policy changes that support this community
• What it means to age with pride, dignity, and visibility
• How allies and advocates can get involved in the work

Sadiya brings deep expertise in diversity, equity, and inclusion, along with a passionate commitment to justice for all ages and identities. 

Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, a caregiver, a policymaker, or simply someone who wants to support aging with dignity - this conversation is for you.

Join us and help spread the word - because aging out loud and proud is a liberating act of Pride. 🌈
