The Grandma Stand: Connecting Generations and Sharing Life | a REFLECT Podcast by Ed Fassio

Reflect w/ Ed Fassio

Eileen Wilkinson, a 100-year-old woman living in Washington state, is sharing her wisdom with strangers in New York City through a unique online project. Her grandson, an adjunct social media professor, created a makeshift office in New York City with a cardboard cutout of Eileen. People have been stopping by the office to chat with Eileen, who has a vibrant personality and enjoys sharing her insights. This project allows Eileen to connect with people across the country and share her long life experiences, including her memories of 1917 and her advice on life and relationships. The initiative has been a success, with many people enjoying Eileen's wisdom and finding her encouraging and insightful. Although Eileen passed in 2018, her legacy lives on as her daughter Jan continues connecting through the stand and inviting other grandmas to join in spreading generational care, wisdom, love and support.
