The White House -- -- -- Betty Reid Soskin‘s Little Village Foundation release, "A Lifetime of Being Betty", is a fascinating work that taps into one African-American woman’s American experience, and in the process tells an important story that’s intimate, expansive and inspiring. -- 97-year-old Betty Charbonnet Reid Soskin is, among other things, America’s oldest active park ranger. Meanwhile, her skills as a storyteller have made her an in-demand public speaker. -- “All the talks featured on the album speak to my greatest truths,” Betty states. “Many think life ends in your 70s, but in my 70s is when I had my first job. My life signals that there can be much to live for in these final decades. I’m still productive at 97, and that fact alone indicates that maybe we retire too early. I’m offering an alternative. I’m still creative, and I’m still having first experiences at 97.” -- Betty’s incredible life was chronicled in her acclaimed 2018 memoir and audio book, "Sign My Name to Freedom". With "A Lifetime of Being Betty" comes a memorable portrait of a remarkable woman and of a lifetime filled with joy and pain taken directly from her powerful live presentations. -- (Source: Artist PR) - Total Running Time: 50:13 - UPC: 814519025399 - The Amazon ASIN for the mp3 version of this CD is B07P9SDJD4 - Another listing by Zip
