Black History Month!

   Madam C.J. Walker, also known better as Sarah Breedlove, was born on December 23rd, 1867, near Delta, Louisiana. Sarah suffered a scalp ailment that resulted in her losing all of her hair, but this didn't stop her from making a line of African-American hair products. This line of products lead to one of the first American women to become a self-made millionaire. This is how it first started.

   

   When Sarah first lost her hair, she began to experiment with both hair remedies and store-bought hair care treatments in a attempt to fix her condition. In 1905, Sarah was hired by Annie Turbo Malone - a successful, black, hair-care product entrepreneur- and moved to Denver, Colorado. While Sarah was in Colorado, her husband Charles helped create ads for her hair care treatment. Her husband also was encouraging her to go as "Madam C.J Walker," which she has later been recognized as.

  

   Madam C.J Walker was a very bright person and has inspired me. She has inspire me to see that anyone can do anything if they believe in themselves no matter what. Even though Sarah dint have any hair, she still made hair products for other African-American women. Sarah died May 15th, 1919 in Irvington, NY.
