About Bintu
As a Kindergarten educator, she believes that students are best served when they are immersed in a culturally inclusive classroom side by side with culturally responsive teaching practices. Students should be able to have more input in their learning environment and educators should build positive relationships with families and the communities they serve.
Outside of work, Bintu loves to travel and learn about different cultures. She enjoys finding new and delicious restaurants around the world, fashion, and has been writing and publishing books for members in her community for years . You will often hear her refer to her brother Manju, who inspires her to be great and limitless after his sudden passing in 2018 at the age of 23. She appreciates life and does not take any of it for granted.
