For the benefit of all
Sharing our stories can counteract the erasure of stories and contributions of people of color.
Genealogical research can be accelerated by elders who carry family knowledge to pass on.
Sharing memories can affirm dignity and elevate meaning in life experiences.
Fostering intergenerational relationships can help reduce ageist attitudes that impact younger and older generations.
