We are pleased to announce the addition of two amazing women to the SeniorTrade brain trust, Wenona Kimbro as Associate Editor and Helen Foster as Advisory Board Member.
Wenona is passionate about life quality for seniors, and writes on this topic from a broad intersectional perspective. As Associate Editor, Wenona Kimbro will take a deep dive into the issues driving innovation in senior living and aging well. She is also heading SeniorTrade's Trends & Predictions Report--stay tuned!
She has an MFA in creative writing from Pacific University, preceded by a BA in applied linguistics from Portland State University. Wenona’s writing regularly draws on her professional background in caregiving, memory care support, dis/ability support, mental health care coordination, and advocacy for individuals with intellectual disability.
Wenona has matrilineal blood ties to the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw tribes, and is interested in learning from tribal models for aging well. She also brings an LGBTQ+ lens to her work, informed by both educational and personal experience.
