Her whole inspiration came from her Mum; Jacynth witnessed how she was being treated differently, largely due to her age. Jacynth became an activist and consciously began to use her platform to support other people. She was determined to make an impact.
She studied law at Cambridge, and after graduating she conducted thorough research and started a blog to spark conversation and develop a community and following. In the last 1-2 years she is heartened to see how many people are joining the movement. Her manifesto has 5 principles, beginning with aging as you wish. It’s your choice.
