About Madam C.J. Walker

Madam C.J. Walker was the first self-made female millionaire in America, rising from poverty and orphanhood to become a trailblazing entrepreneur, philanthropist, and activist. Born Sarah Breedlove in 1867 to formerly enslaved parents, she built a haircare empire that not only transformed Black beauty standards but also created jobs for thousands of Black women across the country. Her success became a platform to fund civil rights causes, educational institutions, and women’s empowerment.
