Madame C.J. Walker was America's first female African American millionaire. She made her money inventing and selling beauty products to African American women. She also showed them how to use a heated metal comb with her hair care products. Today, we still use the straightening comb and products evolved from Madame C.J. Walker’s creations, and for that, we thank her for paving the way for African American Entrepreneurship and empowerment.
