Madam CJ Walker


Every black woman thanks her. At least that's what my older friends tell me. Madam CJ Walker. She was an African-American businesswoman, hair care entrepreneur and philanthropist. She made her fortune by developing and marketing a hugely successful line of beauty and hair products for black women under the company she founded, Madam C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company. She was the first person black or white to earn a million dollars. She invented the hot comb as well. From her experiences with hair like hair loss was common she knew that a lot of people didn't have plumbing so she though of heat. That's when the hot comb was born and invented and then and now every woman appreciates her invention. We all thank her for what she did. Being the first person to earn a million dollars is so cool and it would be such an honor. I'm glad she did that to.
