This week I chatted with Rachel Betron! They work at Seattle University - in my home region of the Pacific Northwest! So it was nice to talk to someone so close to home! While Rachel and I haven’t met in human form yet, we hit it off quickly as this conversation quickly veered into some awesome topics. We started with Rachel’s educational and professional trajectory and eventually branched off into a larger conversation on the Seattle QTPOC DIY community - it’s roots in anti-imperialist and anti-fascist work. Rachel is a dedicated educator and activist and it was inspiring to hear them discuss these topics and I hope you enjoy the conversation!
