Judith
“I have major heart disease. At 70, I learned to dance.”
Judith, a North Cleveland Park resident since 1990, has found deep connection and support in her community—especially during the pandemic, when neighborhood kids delivered food to her doorstep. Living with heart disease hasn't slowed her spirit; at age 70, she took up dance for the first time and has since become both a dancer and choreographer. Embracing movement and creativity later in life, Judith is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and the power of community at every stage of life.

About "We Are Your Neighbors"
Too often, older adults are overlooked in our youth-focused world. We Are Your Neighbors, presented by Cleveland & Woodley Park Village, brings their stories to the forefront through powerful portraits, personal narratives, and audio recordings.

This project features eight longtime neighborhood residents, highlighting their wisdom, resilience, and rich life experiences.
In honor of Older Americans Month this May—and its 2025 theme, “Flip the Script on Aging”—we aim to challenge stereotypes and celebrate aging. By sharing these voices, we hope to build a more inclusive community where older adults are truly seen, heard, and valued.
