Founder Bio
Nina Dhillon
Founder & President
The Genesis of SeLiMa
“Senior Lives Matter” emerged from Nina’s deep concern for our senior citizens, whose voices often go unheard, and whose struggles remain in the shadows. Drawing from her real estate background, Nina recognized the unique challenges faced by the aging population, including loneliness, financial dependency, and limited resources. Her inner calling to shine a light on these pressing issues and empower seniors became the driving force behind her remarkable journey.
A Collective Journey Towards a Brighter Future
Nina’s passion is contagious, and she extends an invitation to all to join the movement. Her message is crystal clear: Let’s unite, speak up, and cherish every day with autonomy and purpose. She reminds us that individuals above the age of 50 possess the potential for vibrant, purposeful lives that may extend well beyond a century. With her compassionate leadership, Nina Dhillon inspires a community to embrace mindfulness, connect with one another, and flourish.
Breaking the Silence
One of the greatest challenges our senior population faces is the silence surrounding their hardships. Issues like elder abuse, social isolation, and unmet needs often remain unspoken. Nina is determined to rewrite this narrative, fostering open communication, and creating a safe haven where seniors can share their experiences and find solace in knowing they are not alone.
