Cynthia Xie
Founder/ Executive Director
Growing up in the vibrant and diverse community of Shanghai, China, and later attending school in England, I’ve been fortunate to experience different cultures and perspectives. However, one similarity stood out: the elder generation is often excluded, their stories overshadowed by modern narratives. Witnessing my grandparents face social isolation and feeling their wisdom and experiences go unheard deeply moved me. This inspired me to found Sage Society, a platform dedicated to empowering older generations, celebrating their voices, and fostering meaningful connections. Sage Society seeks to bridge generational divides and ensure that every story is valued and heard.

Founder/ Academic Director
Having grown up in Shanghai and frequently traveled to Japan, I have witnessed the challenges posed by an increasingly aging society, where the older generation is often marginalized and inadequately cared for. Motivated by my passion for biology and a steadfast commitment to supporting this demographic, I established the Sage Society. Our mission is to bridge the gap between the elderly and younger generations by addressing the physical and social challenges faced by elderly people.
