NCAA Division III SAAC Black History Month Event

 In honor of Black History Month, D3 SAAC will be sharing Student-Athletes’ stories on what Black History Month means to them. Let us continue to celebrate diversity and recognize the contributions of those who have made a difference in collegiate sports. 

 I have always been proud to be Kenyan, even with the vivid memories I have of my childhood, extended family, and my first home. Kenya is the first home I knew, but Georgia is the second home I feel the closest to. In recent years, I started to take the initiative to educate myself more about Kenya and also about different aspects of African history, culture and tradition. 

  “I am excited to see the historic year of 2021 full of women empowerment and diversity in leadership. As a student, I am inspired by both Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Kamala Harris’ effort to work hard towards inclusion for minorities and women’s rights."

"Both Speaker Pelosi and Vice President Harris, continue to work and create inclusive change for community development, inspiring young leaders to be the change today and tomorrow.”
