On our podcast – At Home, On Air – we continue our mini-series, Changemaker Interviews, where we highlight the impact of changemakers on the quality of our lives. These individuals have challenged and changed systems, introduced new ways of thinking and told previously untold stories. In the fifth installment of the series, we welcome Betty Reid Soskin’s granddaughter Alyana Reid and filmmaker Bryan Gibel to discuss what they learned from listening to Betty’s stories for their nearly-completed documentary, “Sign My Name to Freedom,” which uncovers Betty’s early career as a musician. Through this film and her memoir of the same name, Betty has revived compositions hidden for decades, demonstrating the value of continuing to explore and revive long-held passions in later life, not just for one’s own benefit but also for the benefit of younger generations to help them shape their journeys. At 103 years old, Betty Charbonnet Reid Soskin’s remarkable life spans the defining American fault lines of the 20th and 21st centuries. From breaking racial barriers as the first African American family settling in Walnut Creek to becoming the oldest National Park Service Ranger at 85 at the Rosie the Riveter National Historic Park in Richmond, California, her stories illuminate crucial experiences that might otherwise be lost to time. Betty didn’t just sign her name to freedom — she signed it to every part of herself that deserved to be known, offering us all a powerful example of how sharing our complete stories across generations creates a more empathetic world. Alyana and Bryan's insights will leave you thinking differently about the stories waiting to be told in your own life and community.
