Dominique Afacan

Dominique co-founded and authored Bolder, a website and book packed with people aged 70-plus who smash stereotypes around ageing. She's also on the founding team at US-based start-up Leap, connecting a similar demographic via daily, bitesize video conversations.

She is no stranger to ageism herself, having skipped many of life's age-related milestones to become a solo mum at 40. She is also mother to a horribly disobedient sausage dog called Coco and a newsletter called Nesting.
