A NOTE FROM SYLVIA
March signals the beginning of spring, a season of renewal and inspiration. As Women’s History Month, this is a time to celebrate and be inspired by the many accomplishments, struggles, and successes of inspirational women, both in Minnesota and around the country. As I reflect upon the struggles and accomplishments that shaped my path to this moment, I am filled with a sense of purpose, strength, and optimism to help shape Twin Cities PBS (TPT) as it moves into the future. I hope that my story is one of inspiration to other women – becoming TPT’s first female president in its 66-year history.
As TPT celebrates Women’s History Month, you’ll meet strong, fierce, independent and courageous women who share their stories through song, dance and the written word – those who fought for their right to vote, are re-shaping their narrative and transforming their communities. From Josephine Baker to Mae West and Dolly Parton - their stories don’t end here… their stories continue at tpt.org/womenshistory . In addition to our incredible line-up of programming, PBS Kids on TPT is introducing young viewers and families to diverse people and events from the state’s past in a new series of shorts titled: MinneHistory . As part of TPT’s effort to expand its educational offerings on the air, online and in community, these bite-sized histories will feature and highlight three “Women Pioneers,” from the nationally renown stateswoman of Minnesota, to a pioneering Indigenous legal leader and activist, and a suffragist and pioneer of medicine and women’s health.
We hope you will join us.
Best regards, Sylvia Strobel, President and CEO, Twin Cities PBS
