Melissa Sekandari

Melissa Sekandari is a Canadian senior advocate, storyteller and content creator whose work centers on honest, warm conversations about aging, dignity, family, memories, and caregiving. Drawing on 19 years of experience working with older adults, she creates content that speaks with seniors rather than at them, helping families and generations reconnect. Her signature series, Pull Up a Chair, invites audiences into kitchen-table style conversations about aging, caregiving and family life, while Stories From the Kitchen shares recipes and memories tied to family connection. Her work focuses on seeing older adults as people with stories, humor and voices deserving respect and inclusion.
