" ...Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them.” — Madam C.J. Walker
Madam C.J. Walker, born Sarah Breedlove in 1867, was an African American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and social activist. She became known as the first female self-made millionaire in America through her successful line of beauty and haircare products tailored for Black women. After experiencing personal struggles and witnessing the challenges faced by her community, she developed a range of formulas that transformed the haircare industry. Walker established a vast network of sales agents, empowering women and promoting economic independence. Beyond her business achievements, she was dedicated to philanthropy, advocating for civil rights and educational opportunities for African Americans. Walker's legacy endures as a symbol of resilience and empowerment in the face of adversity.
