The Young & Old Test
Make decisions that your 80-year old self and 10-year-old self would be proud of.

I will be interviewing 100 LGBTQ elders over the next two years for a project I am calling “OLD & QUEER.” I believe it’s vital to collect stories from our elders while they’re still alive, and I’m excited to share the first one here:

As we close out Music Therapy Awareness Month just wanted to share this moment from an IG live I did with Chrissy Pearson and Shannon Robinson...two certified music therapists.
Chrissy explains how she helped a man who had suffered a stroke regain his ability to communicate.

I complimented my mom on her gỏi dưa leo - a Viet cucumber salad.
Mom: “I followed your recipe in Into the Vietnamese Kitchen.“
Me: “It was your recipe to begin with.”
Mom: “It’s great that your wrote down everything. I can’t remember all the details at my age.”

We have become so entrenched in generational name-calling — or, conversely, so focused on downplaying the differences that do exist — that we have forgotten there is strength in age diversity. hbr.org/2022/03/harnessing-t…
