Elizabeth Burrowes Vierra
July 28, 1937 ~ May 19, 2021
We all lost a strong, courageous woman on May 19, 2021. Elizabeth Burrowes Vierra was born on July 28, 1937 in Oakland, California. The only child of Robert Jamieson and Dorothy Burrowes, Bette was raised by maternal grandparents and her aunt and uncle. She graduated from Hayward High School in the Bay Area and went on to the University of California, Berkeley. Bette became an avid civil rights activist and began cultivating her lifelong mission and calling to serve others.
Bette married her high school sweetheart, Ken Vierra Sr., and they began their life as a young couple in Salt Lake City. They were eventually blessed with five children. They raised their children in both California and Utah, until they settled into their family home in the Holladay area of Salt Lake City.
Alexi McCammond, editor of Teen Vogue, resigns over past tweets.
The new executive editor of Teen Vogue said the far-left magazine’s recent social media blackout was a result of internal reflection after a series of racist posts from staffers were discovered – but critics don’t think the explanation is good enough.
Teen Vogue made headlines last month when would-be editor-in-chief Alexi McCammond stepped down after decade-old tweets, for which she previously apologized in 2019, were resurfaced and angered the magazine’s liberal staffers. But then Christine Davitt, senior social media manager at Teen Vogue, was revealed to have used racist language on Twitter herself.
