As we bid farewell to February, join us in celebrating the legacy of Black History. Today, we draw inspiration from Madam C.J. Walker, a remarkable self-made entrepreneur, a political and social activist, and a philanthropist:
“I had to make my own living and my own opportunity. But I made it! Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them.”
Born as Sarah Breedlove in 1867, Madam C.J. Walker emerged from humble beginnings. She was raised on a plantation where her parents had once been enslaved. Undeterred by adversity, she transformed herself from an uneducated farm laborer and laundress into an activist and the first female self-made millionaire in America recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. Her indomitable spirit and determination continue to inspire generations to create their own paths and seize opportunities. Source: unexpectedvirtualtours.com and madamcjwalker.com
