Roxanne Jo Mitchell

Bettie Naylor is a dynamo, a 5-foot firecracker, and the best friend Austin, Texas, has ever had. Co-founder of HRC Human Rights Commission and with a long and deeply held Christian belief that we are put on earth to help one another, Ms. Naylor truly strives for human rights across the board: Brown, white, black, gay, straight, poor, rich, liberal, or conservative. Bettie is a model for mediation and mutual understanding, a shining example of all that can be achieved with determination and the power of love.
