My latest in the @washingtonpost about how my internalized ageism surprised me #ageism #reframingageism

Guest column by Steven Petrow: It took me time to understand that there are different ways to understand ageism, including what researchers call “internalized ageism,” or discriminating against oneself. https://t.co/BFzwK4Py1F

What a pleasure it was for me to return to the Five Points Center for Active Adults to present the documentary, Silent Pioneers, and led a conversation with an engaging group of LGBTQIA+ elders. Thanks to Jimmie Overton and Tawnie Gong. https://t.co/VRQZ3NeIDr
