February is CTE and Black History month. Each day we will share information linking the two topics.
Madam C. J. Walker, born Sarah Breedlove, was an African American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and political and social activist. She is recorded as the first female self-made millionaire in America in the Guinness Book of World Records. Walker made her fortune by developing and marketing a line of cosmetics and hair care products for black women through the business she founded, Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company. A museum in Atlanta is devoted to her.
In 2022, Sundial Brands, a division of Unilever, launched a collection of eleven new products under the brand MADAM by Madam C. J. Walker and sold exclusively at Walmart. The products focus on the use of natural ingredients to care for different types of hair. Also, in 2022, Mattel issued a Madam C. J. Walker Barbie doll as part of their inspiring women doll collection.
