Deborah Chambers
Deborah Darling
Join Stephanie O’Dell, founder of Celebrate The Gray in conversation with Deborah Chambers (aka Deborah Darling) a 59-years-old, silver-haired grandmother turned model living just outside the vibrant city of Johannesburg in South Africa. She describes herself as a late blossoming model and show-off. She has a huge social media following with 50K on Instagram and 87K on Tik Tok.
As Deborah’s 50th birthday was getting nearer, she decided it was time to make some drastic changes (divorce, quitting her 20 year career) in all the areas of her life. Eight years later, she is happy, healthy and traveling the world. Deborah is modeling for fashion shoots and even though she every now and then pinches herself to make sure it is all true, she is loving every minute of her new, adventurous life as a model.
Her down-to-earth, vibrant videos and sassy, classic yet fun photos on Instagram, Youtube, Facebook, Pinterest and TikTok have awarded her the title “pro-aging ambassador”. Deborah Darling continues to inspire women and men to age with power vs. fear.
