Most people have a negative image of graffiti and "tagging." However, there are a group of grandmas and a few grandpas in Lisbon, Portugal, who are encouraged to create street art through workshops given by an organization called Lata 65. This video is a tribute to one of the "crew." Meet Luísa Cortesão, a graffiti grandma who never let age impede her imaginative spirit.

    Beautiful, inspiring story of embracing age and making the most of time to do what you enjoy and love - something society should really be reminded of where we are constantly encouraging 'hiding signs of ageing' - embrace and be!

    Being 68 and making things more and more, not less and less, and putting it out in the world, feels wonderful. I loved her saying "You are more."

    I love the spirit of the ladies and there is no age limit to creativity! Never give up and always find ways to make a difference.

  • Tammy

    I love the spirit of creativity, it is in me also and always love to see others create. The inspiration to continue creating in your older age is precious and so many give up.
