Gracefully Greying Back Story

Gracefully Greying is a passion project created by attorney Henry Gornbein. The project began on YouTube as a video podcast series with Henry interviewing professionals discussing issues that we all face as we age. Henry then partnered with graphic designer/marketer Laurie Blume.  Together they developed the Gracefully Greying brand to include a comprehensive website, YouTube Channel, social media content, live stream interviews, e-newsletters, and corporate and community involvement.

Gracefully Greying focuses on the 55+ age demographic. Our resources serve as tools preparing for the future, and for people with aging parents who need information all in one place. Our platform is updated multiple times a week to bring you the latest information. We would like to hear from you. Have an idea? Contact us:  info@gracefullygreying.com.
