About the Author: My name is Yasmin. I have a lot of titles; mother, wife, engineer, entrepreneur, executive, co-founder, president of boards, and CEO to name a few. This book is about a title that I did not wish for, but yet it has shaped me into who I am today, and that title is caregiver. In 2007 when I owned hair salons, two ladies approached me for my business expertise. They wanted to create a "Village" in Tierrasanta, based on the success of Beacon Hill Village that was highlighted in the AARP Bulletin "Long-Term Care Declaration of Independents - Home is where you want to live forever. By Barbara Basler, December 2005." This new aging-in-place solution, set up as a grass roots non-profit, would connect members in a community to help each other. It would turn the community into a Village. I loved the concept and having lived in a village and lost it, recreating a "Village" sounded like a wonderful thing to be involved in. Especially since I had witnessed firsthand the challenges of being old without a village in both my parents and grandparent's lives. We formed Tierrasanta Village in 2008 with a powerhouse of energetic people, and I stayed on their board as president until the end of 2013. We grew our Village to almost 200 members. These members were there for each other for both support and play. Any Village gatherings I attended were always heartwarming and reminded me of my family and their supportive villages. I have done a lot of different things in my career. With a degree in electrical engineering, I have worked in the information technology field for over twenty-five years, for Fortune 100 and midsize companies. I have owned hair salons and started other entrepreneurial ventures. However, I must say that one of the biggest challenge of my life has been taking care of my loved ones as they aged. I have learned a lot over the last ten years by volunteering in various roles for the Village Movement, San Diego Senior Alliance, Aging 2.0 etc. I have also tried to start ventures in this tough space. Through all my involvement with Aging related non-profits, I have found it amazing that even older adults have an easier time funding or donating to children's causes, than supporting initiatives that would help seniors. Perhaps the reason is that we want to stay in denial that we are all aging. I am certainly determined to embrace my old age, white hair and all.
