Donne Davis was planning her retirement like most other people. One of enjoying her leisure time filled with hobbies, family and friends. But after witnessing the birth of her granddaughter, everything changed for Donne. She felt an innate need to connect and talk with other grandmothers. As a result of this passion, she launched The GaGa Sisterhood, a social network for enthusiastic grandmas. Initially Donne started with 15 grandmas sitting in her living room. The GaGa Sisterhood has since grown to a virtual community of over 200 members across the United States. In addition to hosting monthly meetings, she writes weekly blog posts and a monthly newsletter. This is her story.
