I met Bridget Sojourner through my dear friend Fanny Karst in London a few years ago. Fanny has a line of clothing for older woman called, The Old Ladies Rebellion, and Bridget was one of her wonderful models. People approach Bridget everyday because of her bold and colorful outfits (mostly purchased in charity shops) opening the door to meaningful and interactions and conversations about aging and style. Bridget, a gardener and activist says," When people started stopping me about my clothes I thought, I've been through feminism, racism, all the prejudices. I'm an activist and Ageism is the last bastion." What a testament to the power of style!
