My blog name is, “The MMMW,” which stands for the, “modern, mature and magnificent woman,” that was created to let the world know that some gray hairs and winkles doesn’t deplete a person’s value to the world but adds to it with wisdom, knowledge and experience.
Ageism is prevalent in opportunities for those who are over the age of 55 in many capacities especially employment which women my age face daily. Although age discrimination is illegal, organizations find a way around it in not hiring people who are over a certain age. This problem is not just about employment opportunities but other areas of life such as volunteering too.
Being the age of 63 years old, divorced no children, MBA and Six Sigma Greenbelt, I have been passed up for opportunities solely based on my age. Worked most of my life in the financial sector of banking and investments. Plus, I was an ACE certified aerobics instructor. Avid downhill skier and biker for most of my life.
Thank you for allowing me to share the purpose of my blog, it means so much to me.
Yours Truly,
Leslie Elizabeth David.
