![]() Name: Gina Sainten Occupation: Elementary Assistant Principal at Sinnott Years with MUSD:12 years How/Why is Black History Month important to celebrate throughout our district? Black History month is important to celebrate throughout the district to bring awareness of all the greatness that our African American community has accomplished and is still doing. It is a month that gives special time to highlight and dig deeper in learning more about all that has been accomplished. It is also a time for our community to spend more time seeing themselves in the curriculum and content that is shared in the classrooms and school community. Spending time highlighting stories of African American leaders, and people who have worked hard to make change. Who is a famous female leader of African Ancestry that inspires you and why? A Famous Female Leader of African Ancestry who inspires me if Michelle Obama. Her focus on making sure we address issue for children and the food they eat was inspiring and how she has partnered and created a TV show “Waffle and Mochi” to teach children about where food comes from to help them explore and try new things has been something I have seen first-hand with my own children looking up to her and learning from her. Mrs. Obama has also been an inspiration to me through the speeches she has made and the books she has written. I know she still has so much to offer to the world and I cannot wait to see what else she does. What are some of your keys to success for younger black females? Speak up, do not give up your last word, bring your own perspective and don’t be afraid to push for change, Stay true to who you are and advocate for yourself, Encourage each other and empower each other.
