Today, on World Senior Citizen Day, meet 7 older Instagram influencers, women who prove that age is no barrier to follow your passion and influence people.

So here is a list of 7 such women – older Instagram influencers who aside from being food, fashion and fitness experts, are passionate about what they do. Hence proving that passion and creativity have no age barrier.
