Summary
Gettin' Free! : A Juneteenth Collaboration brought to you by Sistas Who Kill: A True Crime Podcast. We know that history is told from the side of the victors, but that leaves room for misinformation and false narratives.Â
We are on a mission to change that.
11 Black podcasts have come together to reclaim our history and tell it our way - flavor and all. Welcome to a chronological journey to get free. Learn where we've come, what we've overcome, and how much further we need to go.Â
In my portion of the episode (58 minute mark) I talk about Maggie Lena Walker, the first woman (black or white) to charter a bank and woman to serve as a bank president in America.Â
