“Turned my iron up to linen…”. 😂😂😂. She is fierce. I love her.

Thank you for sharing this with us Ms. Reid. Our own stories of this part of our lives are as many and varied as there are of us. Thank you.

Legendary. Betty, I'm in awe. SO glad you lived to tell the tale!

[@sarahdee374]

I'd vote for Ms Betty for President. She's smart, healthy, resourceful, honest and just plain delightful.

Remarkable!! You go, girl!

[@annepokras551]

Wonderful story! Still, sad that she went through such trauma (even tho yes she gained from it overall...).

[@fmcg5364]

She was featured on San Francisco channel 7 news, I believe it is the same woman that would wear her park ranger uniform so that young Black girls knew that they too could be park rangers
