“Speak your mind, don’t hold your tongue.” Elizabeth Francis

Elizabeth Francis, is 114 years old, making her the oldest person in America. She was born July 25, 1909 in Louisiana, when William Taft was President. Raised in Houston, Texas where she still lives, Elizabeth Francis graciously shared sage advice on longevity:

“If the Good Lord gave it to you, use it! Speak your mind, don’t hold your tongue.”

We appreciate the wisdom of Ms. Francis. It can be arduous to speak up. To say what needs to be said, especially in an arena that doesn’t value your voice.

Namaste Ms. Francis, we see the light in you.
