Elizabeth White is a prominent advocate for older adults facing employment and financial challenges, known for her innovative solutions and insightful writing. As the founder of NUUage, a coliving housing initiative aimed at supporting older adults with moderate incomes who are aging alone, she addresses a critical need in society. Her book, "55, Underemployed and Faking Normal," fills a gap she identified during her own period of long-term unemployment, offering valuable guidance and perspective from her unique vantage point as a 62-year-old Black woman with diverse professional experience, including a Harvard MBA and roles in retail entrepreneurship and executive leadership.
White's contributions extend beyond her book and housing initiative. She actively engages with the public through guest blogging, speaking engagements at conferences, and media appearances. Her expertise has earned her recognition as one of the top 50 influencers on aging in the United States. Her work has been featured in prestigious publications such as Barron’s, Forbes, The Huffington Post, MarketWatch, Next Avenue, and The Washington Post, amplifying her message to a wide audience.
White's impact is also evident in her appearances on PBS NewsHour and her TEDx Talk, which has garnered over 2 million views and has been promoted to the main TED stage, further increasing her reach and influence. Her commitment to advocating for older adults is underscored by her position as a Board Member of the International Federation on Ageing and her invitation to testify before the Senate Special Committee on Aging, demonstrating the recognition and respect her expertise commands at the highest levels of government and international organizations.
