She saved when there was nothing left. She sacrificed so her children could have more. She built futures with her bare hands—and asked for nothing in return.

This Women’s History Month, we honor the women who have always been the quiet architects of family security.

At RTL Associates, our work is a continuation of theirs. We help today’s women protect what they’ve built—so their legacies last, and their families are never left wondering.

To every mother, grandmother, caregiver, and woman who has ever put someone else first:
We see you. We honor you. And we’re here to protect your future.

In 1864, in the aftermath of the Civil War, a woman walked across a stage and into history.

Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler became the first Black woman physician in the United States.

Not because it was easy. Because it was necessary.

After earning her degree, she didn’t take the path of comfort. She went to Richmond, Virginia, to care for newly freed Black families who had no access to medical care. She worked through poverty, prejudice, and exhaustion—because healing was her mission.

She later wrote one of the first medical guides authored by a Black physician, ensuring her knowledge would outlive her.

Why does she matter to RTL Associates?

Because Dr. Crumpler understood what we believe: True protection is about showing up for people who need it most—and building something that lasts beyond you.

She healed bodies. We help families protect their futures. Both are acts of love, strength, and legacy.

This Women’s History Month, we honor the pioneers who paved the way—and the women still carrying that work forward today.

Before supersonic jets could soar, Dorothy McFadden Hoover did the math. ✈️🖤

Born in 1918 in Hope, Arkansas, the granddaughter of enslaved people, Dorothy graduated high school at age 15 and college by 19—one of only two math majors in her class .

But her greatest work was just beginning.

Hired as one of the first Black women "human computers" at NACA (later NASA) in 1943, Dorothy's brilliance quickly set her apart . She was selected to work directly with Robert T. Jones, one of the premier aeronautical engineers of the twentieth century—the first Black woman to join an integrated research division .

Her calculations and research helped design the "thin sweptback tapered wing" —the revolutionary design that makes supersonic flight possible .

Today, every aircraft that flies at supersonic speeds—commercial jets, fighter planes, even the space shuttle—uses Dorothy's design concepts .

She became:
✅ The first African American woman co-author on NASA research publications
✅ The first woman (of any race) to earn a master's in physics from the University of Arkansas
✅ One of the first Black women promoted to GS-13 in federal government
✅ A 2023 inductee into the Arkansas Women's Hall of Fame

Dorothy McFadden Hoover didn't just break barriers. She built wings that carried humanity higher.

At RTL Associates, we believe in honoring legacies like Dorothy's—women whose intellect, perseverance, and vision protected and propelled generations to come.

She didn't just dream of a better future. She built it—with her hands, her heart, and her sacrifice. 💪❤️

This Women's History Month, we celebrate the women who shaped us. The grandmother who saved every penny. The mother who worked two jobs so her kids could have more. The daughter now raising children while caring for aging parents.

Women have always been the quiet architects of family security.

But here's the truth: women face unique financial challenges.

📉 They earn less due to caregiving years out of the workforce.
📈 They live longer—needing retirement savings to stretch further.
❤️ They care for everyone—often at the expense of their own planning.

Yet study after study shows: women investors outperform men. Why? Patience. Discipline. Long-term vision.

At RTL Associates, we help women protect what they've built.

Whether it's:
✅ Final Expense insurance so your children aren't burdened
✅ Hospital Indemnity to cover what Medicare doesn't
✅ Long-Term Care planning to protect your savings
✅ Life insurance that leaves a legacy, not a bill

To every woman reading this: Your work matters. Your sacrifice is seen. Your future deserves protection.

👉 Tag the woman who inspires you most. Let's celebrate her today.

On this day, February 17, 1926—exactly 100 years ago—a dream was planted that would change America forever. 🌱🖤

Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the son of formerly enslaved parents, a sharecropper who taught himself mathematics and became only the second Black American to earn a PhD from Harvard, launched Negro History Week.

He chose the second week of February to honor the birthdays of two giants: Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.

That single week grew. It grew into a movement. It grew into Black History Month.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS LATER, we stand on the shoulders of a man who understood a profound truth: A people who know their history cannot be broken.

Dr. Woodson didn't just want us to remember. He wanted us to build.

"Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history."

So today, we ask you:

🚀 Whose shoulders are YOU standing on?
🛡️ What legacy are YOU building?
💪 How are YOU ensuring the next generation stands taller?

At RTL Associates, we believe legacy isn't just about what you leave behind. It's about what you build TODAY.

Whether it's protecting your family's future with life insurance, closing health coverage gaps, or planning for long-term care—every policy we write is a brick in someone's legacy.

Dr. Woodson's dream was that we would know our past so we could build our future.

Let's build. Together.

On this day, February 11, we pause to honor a quiet giant of American history. 🖤

Dr. Jane Cooke Wright (1919-2013) was a groundbreaking oncologist and surgeon who changed the way we fight cancer.

As one of the first Black women to graduate from Harvard Medical School and the first woman elected president of the New York Cancer Society, she shattered ceilings that had never been cracked.

But her true legacy? She pioneered chemotherapy as a treatment we could actually measure. Before Dr. Wright, cancer drugs were tested haphazardly. She developed the technique to test cancer drugs on human tissue cultures instead of live patients—revolutionizing how we treat the disease and saving millions of lives.

Her father was also one of the first Black graduates of Harvard Medical School. Together, they founded the Cancer Research Foundation at Harlem Hospital, proving that excellence and compassion are a powerful inheritance.

At RTL Associates, we believe in building legacies that protect future generations. Dr. Wright's relentless pursuit of better treatments, her refusal to accept limits, and her commitment to her community inspire us daily.

This , we honor the heroes whose genius flows through the very heart of our nation's well-being. ❤️🩸

Meet Dr. Charles R. Drew (1904-1950), a pioneering surgeon and medical researcher.

Faced with segregation and immense prejudice, his brilliance couldn't be denied. During World War II, he pioneered revolutionary methods for processing, storing, and transfusing blood plasma—work that became the foundation for modern blood banks and saved countless lives on the battlefield.

Yet, in a profound irony of history, he resigned from his leading role with the American Red Cross in protest of their policy to segregate blood by race—a policy he proved was scientifically baseless.

His legacy is a powerful reminder: True strength lies in both intellect and integrity. He broke barriers in science while standing firmly for equality, ensuring his work healed without discrimination.

At RTL Associates, we believe in protecting every family's future with that same standard of excellence and principle. We draw inspiration from leaders like Dr. Drew, whose commitment to saving lives and fighting for what's right still resonates today.
