Betty Burkes is a teacher and women’s peace activist now living in Boston. In our second ever podcast episode, Betty tells Liz and Tali about her her upbringing in a small, racially integrated Ohio town in the 1940s and how she first fell in love with a woman in her late 50s. We learn about her life striving to be human, the special and sometimes unexpected places where she has felt belonging, and a lifetime of experiences seeking to be of service to the world.
