I just reread, This Chair Rocks – A Manifesto Against Ageism by anti-ageism advocate Ashton Applewhite. And I recently listened to a style podcast that featured, Ms. Applewhite, whom I follow on Instagram. At 70, she says, she is just coming into her own as an individual. “Ageism is defined as discrimination against persons of a certain age group. There is a tendency to regard older people as debilitated, unworthy of attention, or unsuitable for employment, “ she says. “Ageism is prejudice and alienation against our own future selves.”
