Great post! I first heard about Madam C. J. Walker in a history podcast, and I'm glad to learn more about her in your post and this book.

Amazing story. I especially like the part when she shares her job promotions and ultimately promotes herself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparation.

Her real ambition, though, is to build a Tuskegee Institute in Africa.

Where there is a will, there is a way.
