Maggie Lena Walker’s life was one spent breaking down barriers. A Black woman born in 1864, she began her career as a teacher and went on to open a department store, finance, and run a newspaper, and in 1903, she became the first Black woman – and the first woman – to charter and lead a U.S. bank. Walker was a businesswoman and civil rights activist that dedicated her life to improving the lives of those in her community, leaving behind a remarkable legacy. To celebrate Walker’s contributions and those of women who are carrying on her legacy today by creating opportunities for economic advancement in underserved communities, PayPal established the Maggie Lena Walker Award. The award includes one category for Achievement and another for Emerging Leaders. Today, PayPal is excited to announce the second class of awardees whose work reflects the late banking executive and civil rights activist's mission and legacy. Read about how these awardees have positively shaped their communities through a commitment to increasing access to capital and business resources for Black and other minor

Human Rights Campaign President Alphonso David was on the latest episode of #NeverStandStill. As a member of the Black and LGBTQ communities, Alphonso is challenging all of us to think about identity in a more intersectional way than we have historically. Both identities shape who he is at work and in his personal life, and his efforts at the HRC advocate for society and institutions to see people’s whole selves as valuable. Conversations like these continue to inform our efforts at PayPal to ensure employees can not only bring their full identities to work, but also be celebrated and respected for those identities. Many thanks to Alphonso for the important and candid discussion. You can watch their full conversation here.

They both acknowledge that while Nike and PayPal are making strong commitments to diversity and inclusion within their own walls and beyond, the journey never ends and there’s still more work to be done.
