At 76 years old, Candace Leslie Cima wears many hats. Besides being a mother and grandmother, she is also a model, an artist, and a businesswoman. This Buffalo, New York resident runs a blog titled “Life In My 70s: Aging Is Changing,” where she offers advice to women on lifestyle and fashion and how to embrace the changes that come with aging.

Cima’s fascination with aging goes way back to her 20s and 30s when she first experienced it. She has even owned a senior living community for several years, giving her a deep understanding of seniors from various backgrounds.

From her extensive experience working with the elderly, Cima firmly believes that aging is evolving. She emphasizes that our mothers and grandmothers are not us. We now have the opportunity to live out our later years as successful, knowledgeable, compassionate, and stylish women.

Additionally, Cima has a TikTok account with nearly 100,000 followers, where she showcases her lifestyle and fashion choices. While she has a substantial fan base, she also faces criticism from trolls who disapprove of her clothing choices.
