During the George Washington University Center for Aging, Health, and Humanities' Age-Friendly Ecosystem Summit, Lindsay Goldman, CEO of Grantmakers in Aging (GIA), delivered a presentation titled Aging is Living: The Case for Investing in Aging. She highlighted how aging intersects with every philanthropic priority, from health and housing to transportation and caregiving, and emphasized that funding aging initiatives is about funding the future for all. GIA works to mobilize money and ideas by supporting funders, strengthening age-friendly community efforts, and advancing policies such as the Older Americans Act reauthorization and multi-sector plans for aging. Goldman also discussed shifts in philanthropic practice, including trust-based philanthropy, which emphasizes multi-year unrestricted funding and transparency, and impact investing, which leverages larger, recyclable funding streams to drive structural change. These strategies ensure that communities have the flexibility and resources needed to sustain age-friendly initiatives over time. Her message was clear: aging is not a niche issue—it is the human experience, and embedding age-consciousness across philanthropy and policy builds more equitable and resilient communities.

The Caregiver's Journal hosted by Lance A. Slatton with Cindy (PT) & Christina (ST) Hardin-Weiss.   The Caregiver's Journal is the show where we are sharing the caregiving experiences, stories, and wisdom of family caregivers.   Chapter 15 - "Caregiving Love":   About Mary Whitehead:   Mark & I have been partners in life since our first date, a Heart concert, in 1978 followed by our marriage in 1979. Together we raised two children, and along the way we helped care and provide for parents & grandparents throughout their illnesses and aging in place or in senior living centers. I call myself a care partner vs. caregiver because Mark does not need my assistance for everyday tasks. We both use our strengths that complement each other on this path with Parkinson's and several other chronic illnesses he lives with.   My late mother was my inspiration. In my mid-teens I watched her, over the course of two years, lovingly care for my dying father (lung cancer). I could not have had a better, in-home example of someone who did everything, including care for him, with love. I am married to the most wonderful man who insisted that my mom live with us for what totaled the last 12 years of her life so that she could have a comfortable life with no expenses and be cared for by us after having a massive heart attack two years before she passed away.   When Mark was 47, as we became empty nesters and were poised to live out some dreams that were not feasible during our first 2+ decades together, a diagnosis of young onset Parkinson's Disease brought our hopes, plans, and his career to a screeching halt. But it couldn't completely stop this incredible human being, artist, musician/composer, man of many hobbies and a higher math maniac. I like to tease him about trying to share multi-page equations with me for discussion. Side note: he even took an online math course through MIT and I insisted that he buy one of their hoodies to wear proudly. There is so much to Mark that we could never cover in one conversation but rather than dwell on the PD, he prefers to pursue and concentrate on what he CAN do.   We cultivate humor and wit in our relationship. That's where “Tenacious M” - my care partner/gansta moniker comes from. I combine it with my Cornermam enthusiasm to encourage Mark's boxing workouts (excellent for PD) and – like a beagle in a brush pile - I pursue every challenge face head on, whether it's an insurance or pharmacy snafu, etc. Together, we face every aspect of living with PD. And we are both are dedicated PD research participants at Washington Univ., St. Louis, MO, also the location of Mark's neuro, Dr. Joel Perlmutter (definitely the top doc). I, along with two of our friends are in the non-PD control group. We all have pledged to donate our brains at the end of our lives for PD research.   In 2013, inspired by a Parkinsons Foundation resource kit, we created a PD Awareness & Research fundraising blitz, raising nearly $3k for Dr. P's research. Friends, family & my coworkers held Pancakes for PD, Dine-out nights, a proclamation by our city mayor, and, among many other activities, we raffled a beautiful quilt that Mark & I designed, and I did the hand-embroidery.   Like the motto in our Parkinson's & Dystonia private FaceBook group, we will never give up.   And I'd like to credit the group's founder/lead admin, Erika, for creating a safe and supporting space for people with PD and the caregivers & care partners.

If you've ever asked yourself, “What stage of dementia is my loved one in?” you're not alone. I used to think there was a clear answer. I thought if I could just figure out the stage, I'd know what to expect and how to plan ahead. But the truth is, it's a lot more complicated than that. In this video, I'm sharing what I wish I knew sooner about the stages of dementia. I'll go over the different staging systems, like the 3-stage model, the GDS, and the FAST scale. I'll also explain why your loved one might not fit neatly into any stage and what that actually means for your caregiving. Links: Want more tips, tools, and encouragement for your caregiving journey?

In this episode, I sit down with preventative neurologist, Dr. Kellyann Niotis to talk about the importance of brain health. We discuss how to protect our cognitive function and prevent neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Dementia, and Parkinson's.

In many ways, the homicide of Barbara Innis was a clear cut case. There were witnesses, a weapon, and a suspect immediately taken into custody. The complication: the suspect, Barbara’s husband, can’t remember the crime. 87 year old George Innis had shown signs of dementia for years prior to the killing of his wife at their Bellevue assisted living center. His journey through the legal system highlights the questions surrounding prosecution and care of people with degenerative memory loss.

Michelle Cain's journey as a caregiver began when her mother was diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia during the pandemic, a time already fraught with uncertainty and stress. At 47, Michelle found herself in the “sandwich generation,” balancing the needs of her own family—her husband and two sons—with the increasing demands of caring for her mother. The diagnosis came as a shock, and Michelle quickly had to navigate the complexities of her mother's delusions, the challenges of finding appropriate care, and the emotional toll of watching a parent's health decline. Despite a complicated relationship with her mother, Michelle became the primary caregiver, a role shaped by both proximity and necessity.Throughout this experience, Michelle confronted not only the practical aspects of caregiving but also deep-seated emotional issues. Her mother's illness unearthed decades of unresolved resentment and anger, forcing Michelle to process and ultimately find forgiveness. This journey was made even more challenging by the pressures of the pandemic and personal struggles within her own family, including her son's eating disorder and her ongoing commitment to sobriety. Michelle's story is one of resilience and growth—she openly shares how her caregiving role, though difficult, became a catalyst for healing and self-discovery.Michelle's insights, captured in her book “Did Mom Drop Acid?”, offer valuable lessons for others in similar situations. She emphasizes the importance of accepting help, maintaining a sense of humor, and recognizing that grief and forgiveness are complex, ongoing processes. Her candid reflections provide hope and guidance for caregivers facing their own challenges, illustrating that even in the midst of chaos, there can be unexpected gifts and opportunities for personal transformation.Thank you to sponsor: CareScoutLearn more about Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver: https://confessionsofareluctantcaregiver.com/** Caregiver Action Network Caregiver Help Desk offers free support to family caregivers via phone, chat, or email Monday through Friday, 8:00 am - 7:00 pm Eastern.

In this resonant episode of What's My Thesis?, artist and educator Kim Garcia joins host Javier Proenza for a layered conversation about memory, community, and the personal and political frameworks that shape diasporic identity. Garcia, whose practice spans sculpture, drawing, and community-based collaboration, reflects on her evolving relationship to artmaking—from early experiments in artist-run residencies to recent work that channels intergenerational trauma, familial mythology, and the slow grief of dementia. Raised in San Diego and based in Los Angeles, Garcia traces her trajectory through California's UC system, from UCSD to a transformative MFA at UC Irvine. Her sculptural installations—once flamboyant and cartoonish in scale—have given way to more introspective, materially restrained works, driven by the shifting health of her aging parents. A recent series based on her mother's ever-changing retellings of ancestral folklore evolves into a meditation on storytelling as a haze: unstable, affective, and resistant to conquest. In new work, she confronts her father's long-term cognitive decline following a near-death experience, positioning art as a form of both documentation and private processing. The conversation moves fluidly through Garcia's participation in Gallery After Hours (a collaborative curatorial experiment with Amy MacKay), reflections on her return to the Philippines after 24 years, and the psychic legacies of Spanish and American imperialism embedded in Filipino identity. Garcia speaks candidly about her family's pursuit of Spanish ancestry as a means of aspirational assimilation and the radical shift in consciousness that comes from recontextualizing that lineage within histories of violence and extraction. With poetic clarity and humility, Garcia frames her work as a refusal of mastery—an intuitive archive that honors contradiction, transformation, and the limits of language. This is an episode about the power of not knowing, and about what it means to hold grief, resistance, and joy in the same gesture. Topics Covered: Intergenerational storytelling and trauma Dementia, caregiving, and creative mourning Artist-run initiatives and sustainable curation Colonial identity in the Filipino diaspora Sculpture as performance and interdependency The political stakes of abstraction and refusal Featured Projects and Mentions: Gallery After Hours, co-run with Amy MacKay Current group exhibition, The Endless Forever at Luis De Jesus Los Angeles Upcoming two-person show at DMST Atelier with artist Frannie Hemmelgarn (October 4) Ten-year anniversary celebration with Amy MacKay (July 19)   Follow Kim Garcia:

I keep saying it, and it's certainly no secret. Democrats have lost it. When you consider then things they are fighting for, you understand how delusional they are.Things are going so well in DC, Mayor Bowser decided to take a vacation. Isn't that fitting. A rich white man takes over the job of the Affirmative Action Black woman, and she decides to take a vacation.Her idea of “working with President Trump” apparently means, get the hell out of his way.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A deeply personal album of protest, love and self-acceptance — created with AI, powered by vulnerability, and released in support of dementia research.London, UK – August 2025 — After decades behind the decks, DJ-turned-artist F Monday steps into the spotlight with his debut album The Gift, out 10th October 2025. Blending protest pop, soul, and singer-songwriter sensibilities with hints of Latin and bossa nova, the record is both deeply personal and boldly experimental.The lead single, Maybe I'm Gay, will be released on 29th August 2025 across all streaming and download platforms.“It captures my experience as a cis gay man — feeling different, othered, and at times excluded, even within the LGBTQIA+ community. Over time, I found self-acceptance by recognising that many of those feelings are universal — and that being queer is universal too,” says F Monday.The Gift journeys through protest, grief, joy, and self-acceptance. From the bold defiance of Maybe I'm Gay, to the intimate title track The Gift, the playful EDM-lite Not Just Friends, and the revelatory Hello God :-), the album explores what it means to live openly, vulnerably, and authentically.Created in collaboration with AI tools, The Gift is both an act of self-discovery and a creative experiment — a reminder that music can be a mirror, reflecting who we are and what we hope to become.Importantly, all proceeds from the album will go to Alzheimer's Research UK.  Dementia is the UK's leading cause of death, with 982,000 people currently affected — a number expected to rise to 1.4 million by 2040. Globally, the World Health Organisation estimates 57 million people live with dementia, with nearly 10 million new cases every year.Spotify users can pre-save Maybe I'm Gay now by clicking here.The Gift — released 10th October 2025. Every play, every download, every share helps bring us closer to a cure for dementia. Please join in.
