Born in Delta Lousiana on December 23 of 1867, Sarah Breedlove became America's first black female entrepreneur and later a philanthropist. Her hair busines
s Madame C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company's success had shifted her life. Sarah's endurance of being a single mom raising a child with only $1.50 earned a day, had eventually paid off when she became a billionaire. Despite her birth name being Sarah Breedlove, she was widely known as Madam C.J. Walker.
The process of success started when she began to lose hair due to a scalp disorder she had to which she reacted by creating "home remedies and store-bought hair care treatments in an attempt to improve her condition." Receiving help from her spouse Charles helped her promote her startup business since that was his profession.
Her story is very inspiring to me because of the tough life she had growing up. From losing her husband at an early age and working as a single mother, she must have had a hard time. Then to creating a product that spread across the country, it is amazing how things can change.
