Nice to meet you
Who is Betty?
The title of this project is dedicated to the memory of my grandmother, Betty Jean Burton. Throughout her lifetime, Betty served as a minister, businesswoman, and a local real estate entrepreneur in the city of Houston. Her story continues to be told through her work, and the legacy of her memory lives on through her children, family, and the many lives she touched along the way.
"This art, is hereditary. It’s in our genes. It’s just like an eagle. The eagle makes its nest a certain way. You can go anywhere in the world, and the eagle’s nest is going to be made in the same way."

from the beginning
What is Betty's Book?
We are a community based story label headquartered in Houston, Texas. Initially, we entered the entrepreneurship sphere through our signature skincare product, Betty’s Butter. In addition to this, we engage with local artists, community leaders, small business owners, and much more. We hope to inspire you through producing insightful videos, hosting social events, and sharing interviews from local self-starters and conscious entrepreneurs.

Behind the Project
Betty’s story, and others, must not be forgotten. The goal of Betty’s Book is to serve as a virtual archive for business owners, artists, community members, and much more. Coming soon to this site will be videos, photography, and blogs documenting their stories. The Betty’s Book virtual archive will also host helpful tips and public resources for our subscribers.
