At 76, Candace Leslie Cima is shattering age stereotypes with her chic fashion sense, flawless figure, and empowering message. Despite criticism, she remains unfazed, showcasing her vibrant spirit and proving that women can remain beautiful and stylish at any age.
A mother, grandmother, wife, artist, businesswoman, and model, Cima is the epitome of aging gracefully. Her blog, “Life In My 70s: Aging Is Changing,” encourages women to embrace aging naturally, offering lifestyle and fashion advice.
With over 32 years of experience running a senior housing community, Cima knows that aging is not what it used to be. “Aging is Changing,” she says. “We’re not our mothers or grandmothers. We’re productive, intelligent, compassionate, and stylish women throughout our later years.”
