Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on The Senior Zone, Shawn Perry explores the power of participation and the cost of waiting.
First, Rhonda Cunningham Holmes and Peter Rankin of Legal Counsel for the Elderly break down how DC residents can influence real decisions through performance oversight hearings.
In Segment Two, Shawn delivers a reflective conversation on waiting—what it protects, what it delays, and what it may be costing you.
Plus: Birthdays of the Week, Dear Grave Woman with Joelle Simone, and the Later Life Lowdown.
Because your voice still matters. And your move still counts.
Thank you for listening and until we meet again…keep your head high, your heart full, and always — be someone who makes someone else look forward to their tomorrow.
