All About Madam CJ Walker de A'Lelia Bundles Resumen del Libro

Madam C. J. Walker was a self made millionaire who was beloved within her community for her philanthropy, and respected as a first rate business person. She was America’s first female self-made millionaire and one of the most successful African American business owners ever.
Born Sarah Breedlove, she was the first person born free in her family. She married Charles Joseph Walker and became known as Madam C. J. Walker, the name she would later use on her haircare products.

After talking with her brothers, who were barbers, and experiencing problems with hair loss, she developed a formula that healed scalp infections. This inspired her to start her own line of hair care products to do things like reduce dandruff, grow longer hair, smooth hair, or prevent baldness. Her company employed thousands of door-to-door saleswomen from all over the United States and the Caribbean.

She supported the African American community by making a significant contribution for a new YMCA building in Indianapolis, funding scholarships for the Tuskegee Institute and Daytona Normal Institute for Girls, and becoming a patron of the arts in the early years of the Harlem Renaissance.

Her hair care products are still produced today by Sephora and her story was the inspiration to the Netflix series ‘Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker’ and the adult biography On Her Own Ground, both also written by Madam C.J. Walker’s great-great-granddaughter A’Lelia Bundles.

A’Lelia Bundles is the author of the authoritative biography on Madam C. J. Walker, On Her Own Ground, which was adapted into the Netflix limited series Self Made. Bundles is on the board of several libraries and the Indiana Historical Society as well. She the great-great-granddaughter of Madam C. J. Walker.
