SPRING/SUMMER 2021
Martha Pincoffs ‘92 has been busy with
her podcast, 3 Righteous Mamas, and recently featured two fellow SAS alums: Jenna Bush Hager ‘96 and Sarah Wilson ‘92. Jenna Bush Hager ‘96 was featured on episode 25, in which she told her story about growing up in the spotlight, and talked about her St. Andrew’s experience while her father, George W. Bush, was Governor of Texas. “We went to a lovely middle school that was also my mom’s idea,” Jenna said. “St. Andrew’s where...it just was really small and inviting, and it’s like, no matter who you were you felt comfortable.” Jenna, who is the co-host of the fourth hour of the TODAY show, also recently interviewed St. Andrew’s own Gilbert Tuhabonye, pictured above, whose running club she joined while attending the University of Texas. Gilbert’s portrait was painted by George Bush as part of his new book, Out of Many, One: Portraits of America’s Immigrants. The following episode of 3 Righteous Mamas featured Sarah Wilson ‘92, who was invited to speak on how art builds empathy. Sarah is a professional photographer, who has taken on assignments such as prom at the Texas School of the Blind and Visually Impared, the 2011 wildfire in Bastrop, TX, and the aftermath of the murder of James Byrd, Jr. in Jasper, TX. Her most recent project, Essentials: Portraits of Austin’s Essential Women Workers, consists of 19-foot-tall portraits you can find on the sides of buildings in downtown Austin. (See story on pages 76-79.) “I think it's about our shared humanity, but it’s also about everything that’s so different about all of us. How amazing it is that we’re so different, that somehow that brings us all together.” Look up 3 Righteous Mamas anywhere you get your podcasts!
