Madam Cj Walker by Ketiesha Robinson
Madam Cj Walker was born on December 23, 1867. She was born as Sarah Breedlove. As a child, she was raised by her slave parents and was later put in an orphanage. When she was just 14 years of age, she married a man named Charles Joseph Walker . Later, Sarah and Moses welcomed their only child Lelia into the world. Sadly, two years after the birth of Lelia , Charles died . Because Sarah only washed her hair once a month, her hair stayed in poor conditions. She was balding and her hair was unhealthy, so it was hard to maintain her hair. This was the start of her great invention.
Madam Cj Walker created hair care products , a beauty school, and a beauty salon for African American Women , which made her the first African American woman millionare . She created this because she wanted to create a stable place that made the African American community safe to be . Where they don't have to change who they are or be belittled . This of course had an impact on the Industrial Revolution because during this time people were to be perceived in a way that sometimes made them feel less of a person. They got judged by people of other races because of their skin color and/or the way they dressed. Madame Cj Walker's invention allowed African American women to have silky, manageable hair just like the women of other racees .
This is how Madam Cj Walker was an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and social activist.
