Why it is vital that we actively welcome and encourage ALL ages into the anti-ageism movement? What can we do to counteract harmful, ageism messages that we internalise from as young as the age of 4? Our founder and Anti-Ageist Activist of 2023, Jacynth discusses this and her commitment to the age-inclusive, pro-age cause in the teaser for our latest and last episode of the series, 'Ageism And... Me'

Throughout this limited series, our founder Jacynth has been joined by a special guest, with each episode focusing on a different topic, and how ageism intersects with and manifests within it.

But for the last episode of series 1, Jacynth turns the lens - or rather, the mic - on herself, as she shares her story and journey to date as a leading anti-ageism advocate, and reflects her own experiences of, and relationship with, ageism and ageing.

Afterall, throughout the series, Jacynth has been inviting our guests and, you, our listeners to consider your own experiences, views and understanding of ageism, so it is only fair that she does the same!

So in this final episode, Jacynth discusses how she got into the ageism movement and became Anti-Ageist Activist of 2023 at the age of 31, and answers commonly asked questions including:

• "Why do you care about ageism at 31?"
• "Aren't you too young to work in and be an expert on ageism?"
• "Why is Ageism Is Never In Style a female-centric campaign?"
• "Have you ever personally experienced ageism?"
• "Have you ever worried about getting older?"

And she reflects on progress to date, shares her vision and hopes for 2024, and why the next step is for ageism to become movement for ALL ages.

Along with much more...

What does it take to be an activist? How can we all make a difference? And with so many different views and opinions on ending ageism and what changing the narrative looks like, can - if at all - these different schools of thought sit alongside each other? Host Jacynth Bassett and special guest, Ashton Applewhite, discuss this in the teaser for the episode 'Ageism And... Activism'
