Aging is a privilege. She lost a dear friend to cancer at age 18. Her whole inspiration came from her Mum who was experiencing ageism as her career was waning. Jacynth became an activist and consciously began to use her platform to support other people. She was determined to make an impact.
She studied law at Cambridge and intended to create opportunities to speak, blog and build a following. She found her age to be an advantage in growing a community that believes as she does. In the last 1-2 years she is heartened to see how many people are joining. Her manifesto has 5 principles, beginning with aging as you wish. It’s your choice.
“I’m heartened to see how many young people are taking up the battle to end ageism.” – Jacynth Bassett
