Welcome to Grandmothers on the Move! I’m your host, Ilana Landsberg-Lewis, and today I have the great honour to speak with Malena de Montis. A participant in the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua that overthrew the Somoza dictatorship, and then a Director of Social Planning in the new government of Daniel Ortega. Malena left the FSLN party in 1989 to establish the Centre for Democratic Participation and Development, and as a feminist leader has written books about feminism, empowerment and popular education and power. Power, and transformative power is a theme that runs through Malena's work in Nicaragua, and extensively on the international stage, always connected to the grassroots, always thoughtful, she is a force, and a passionate advocate for peace, women's rights, and now, in a terrible moment of government tyranny, an important dissenting voice. Grandmothers – from the living room to the courtroom – making powerful contributions in every walk of life. We know them most intimately as loving caregivers, the older women in our lives with a thousand stories about their grandchildren and pictures in their purses.

Lustre.net! An Illustrious Life after Retirement!

WISDOM AT WORK: : Older Women, Elderwomen, Grandmothers on the Move!

03/26/19 • 22 min

Grandmothers on the Move! Indeed! Today, a totally different conversation - Lustre – a website, and a burgeoning community – for women who are finding their footing in a new chapter, and getting out of the “retirement box”! Lustre’s founders, Karen and Erica, are talking about it: “And then one day, bam! There it was. No office, no title, no business cards, no calendar, no meetings, no calls, no places we had to go...” And doing something about it: “We are the same people we always were. Nothing about retirement changes that. Shoulders back. Heads up. We were part of a large sisterhood when we started out. It’s time to come together again. We can forge a new picture of retirement if we do it together. We can shape the next decades. Together, we will build a new community—one with incredible energy, experience and power. And that, our friends, is priceless”. Agreed!
