I didn't even know #chesliekryst was an "older" beauty queen. It shouldn't have mattered. She was an educated, accomplished, and beautiful spirit. But #ageism in this society was a great concern to her at 28!! And at 30 these feelings contributed to her taking her life. Please #swipeleft⬅️ to her essay. These 30 under 20 and 30 under 30 lists need to expand to include under 40, 50, and 60 too! You do NOT lose value as you age. You INCREASE VALUE. Value of experience, knowledge, and skills and life lessons for others!! #Hollywood take note and stop shaming women for aging. The double standard is disgusting!! I would be honored to make a under 50 list and sooner ought under 60. #agestigma mentality must GO!! ** #checkonyourstrongfriends even if they are in therapy #thewholeworldisbugging and ALL OF US NEED TO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CZZsp3euiQu/?utm_medium=tumblr
