✨The amazing Madam C.J. Walker✨

This is just a snippet of her amazingness.

One of the first African American females to become a millionaire. In addition to Walker’s tremendous financial success, she also made her mark as a philanthropist. She gifted $1,000 to the African American Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) building fund in Indianapolis in 1911 and a $5,000 contribution to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s (NAACP’s) anti-lynching fund in 1919. She also provided scholarships for students at many Black colleges and boarding schools and financial support for orphanages and retirement homes.

Walker was, and always will be, a true inspiration to everyone who knows her story. Becoming the first African American female millionaire after overcoming an abundance of struggles and obstacles portrays the true meaning of achieving the American dream.
