Betty is not just the oldest park ranger in history, but her pivot at the age of 85 was preceded by a life full of pivots. From one of the first Black-owned record store owners in California to civil rights activist to all of the personal changes and pivots in between. Betty is a decorated park ranger, receiving the presidential medal of honor from President Obama and still receiving shoutouts on his Instagram. In this episode, Emily talks with the 100- year-old Betty over the course of two days to learn the catalyst of her pivot and how she felt at the age of 65 that she was finally truly living.
