oin Revelers for this on-going Q&A series spotlighting Women Inspiring Women. This week's special guest is Barbara Rose Brooker!
Grab a cocktail or cup of tea and join us for a lively, colorful conversation with Barbara Rose Brooker. Don't be surprised if after this event, you add some new audacious and adventurous goals to your list!
One current goal for Rose Brooker is to become the next hot movie star now that her book, The Viagra Diaries, about dating and love after 60, is going to be a mini-series on HBO. Never at a loss for words, Barbara will be in conversation with Stephanie O'Dell, Revel member and founder of Celebrate The Gray. O'Dell and Rose Brooker will talk about erasing ageism, a focus for Rose Brooker as the founder of the first age march in history, a national march to celebrate age and the end of age discrimination. Brooker will also share about promoting her recent book during a pandemic and, the ever evolving dating scene.
“Ageism is a disease in our country and I feel we have to obliterate the word ‘anti’ in front of age. People are losing who they are, they’re becoming invisible.”
Barbara Rose Brooker is a prolific author with 13 published books and a National Library Award for her poetry. Not a fan of labels such as senior, elder, gay or straight, she does not believe in retirement and will continue, writing, teaching and doing. She regularly teaches writing seminars at SFSU/SF/OLLI and at private seminars. Her students are between 60 and 97.
