Risktory: The Story Of Risk

February is Black History Month and, so, today, I am bringing you the story of Maggie Lena Walker, the first African-American female to charter a bank, and serve as its President, in the US.History often shows us that the best way to challenge that which is unfair, is to master - and subsequently transform - the institutions that define our daily lives. And that’s precisely what Walker did, all in the name of bettering the daily reality of African-Americans living in the reconstructionist era, post the end of the American Civil War. Walker’s story is one of recognizing that risk is a long game, and that real change – sustainable, life altering – change. It takes patience, time, resilience and courage.The Risktory Podcast is created, hosted and produced by Jacinthe A Galpin.All rights reserved.Bibliographyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggie_L._Walkerhttps://www.biography.com/scholar/maggie-lena-walkerhttps://www.encyclopediavirginia.org/Maggie_Lena_Walker_1864-1934#start_entryhttps://www.thoughtco.com/maggi
