Becoming Your Best Version Podcast ep. featuring Rebecca Dangelis

Rebecca Danigelis is the British 80-year-old star of the critically acclaimed and award-nominated documentary Duty Free. After being fired from her long-time career as a hotel housekeeper at the age of 75, Rebecca has become an activist against ageism in both workplaces and communities. The upbeat mother of three uses her lived experience to educate employers and employees on the values of being age-inclusive, underlining the essentiality of including age in DEI initiatives. She also stresses the importance of family. As a speaker, Rebecca has the ability to connect with audiences internationally. It is her joy and mission to help others.
Since Duty Free’s premiere, she has inspired thousands via notable live discussions with organizations including AARP, World Health Organization, National Council on Aging, SouthArts, American Society on Aging, Cirkel and more. She speaks at schools and recently was invited to speak about ageism at the United Nations. She is being featured in The New York Times for the second time in April.

Rebecca has gone skydiving in this chapter in her life, and continues to live an exciting, vital life in New York City. She continues to face life with optimism, despite a cancer diagnosis and other challenges.
