Reposted from @aleliabundles On this 151st anniversary of #MadamCJWalker’s birth (December 23, 1867), we celebrate this #Icon and #Legend who paved the way for today’s successful women entrepreneurs. We know her as a pioneer of the modern, multi-billion dollar hair care industry and a #Millionaire #BossLady, but it’s what she did with her wealth and influence that truly makes her life significant. Above all, Madam Walker empowered thousands of black women and provided economic independence at a time when few jobs were open to them. One of her #WalkerBeautyCulturists told her: “You have made it possible for a black woman to make more money in a day selling your products than she could in a month working in somebody’s kitchen.” She was a #Philanthropist who gave $5,000 to the @NAACP’s anti-lynching fund, an #ArtsPatron who supported black artists and musicians, a #Preservationist who helped save Frederick Douglass’s Anacostia home and an #Activist who spoke up about #CivilRights Today Madam Walker’s legacy continues through @mcjwbeautyculture (the line of hair care products sold @Sephora) #VillaLewaro (@savingplaces #NationalTreasure now envisioned by #NewVoicesFoundation and @Sundial CEO @Richelieu Dennis as a think tank for women of color entrepreneurs) @walkertheatre #MadamWalkerLegacyCenter (a #NationalHistoricLandmark in Indianapolis) #MadamWalkerNetflixSeries starring @OctaviaSpencer currently in production #MadamWalkerFamilyArchives (www.aleliabundles.com www.madamcjwalker.com #empoweringwomen #Inspiration #entrepreneurship @i_Lex_Project - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B_REvuahUQA/?igshid=e7ivlo7vfsup

✊🏾🎨💰#ArtIsAWeapon #MadameCJWalker 🎨 by #historian, #writer, #artist A.K. Fielding @trehanstreasures: www.trehanstreasures.com Walker (Sarah Breedlove) - America's first female self-made millionare - was born on this day (December 23) in 1867. An #entrepreneur, #philanthropist, #artspatron and #activist, Walker built her Black hair-care and cosmetics empire selling her home-made products door-to-door, and later organized her sales agents to become politically engaged to combat social and racial injustices. Her life's story is fascinating and empowering. I'm excited about the @netflix series being developed by @NBA champion @kingjames and Oscar-winning actress @octaviaspencer, which will be based on the book “On Her Own Ground” by Walker’s great-great-granddaughter A’Lelia Bundles @aleliabundles, www.madamecjwalker.com. #BlackExcellence #WalkerBeautyCulturists #WomenInBusiness #BlackEntrepreneurs #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #BlackPhilanthropists #BlackActivists #SilentProtestParade #BlackHairCare #AleliaBundles #AleliaWalker #AKFielding #mixedmedia #BlackGirlArtGeeks🤓 #TrehansTreasures #TraScapades https://www.instagram.com/p/BrvlrOlF6ue/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fqwt68dk3zx1

❤✊🏽🎨 #ArtIsAWeapon #Artist #activist #educator #MargaretTaylorBurroughs, founder of Chicago's @dusablemuseum, is featured in @broadly. #Painting by @laurafreemanart. https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/bj5yz4/margaret-taylor-burroughs-chicago-art-1940s From @broadly: "In the 1940s, Margaret Taylor Burroughs bolstered the careers of some of Chicago's most iconic artists by holding culture salons in her barn and later starting an African American museum in her home. The guests sat on the floor, sipping martinis or coffee and pondering society’s great problems until the wee hours of the morning, sometimes the next afternoon. Paint and artist tools lay strewn across the floor. #GwendolynBrooks, a decade before winning a #PulitzerPrize, would hang around, laughing and sharing secrets. At times, soon-to-be civil rights icon #PaulRobeson or celebrated #sculptor #ElizabethCatlett would swing by. The renowned #painter #EldzierCortor could sometimes be found there as well, alongside luminary poets like #MargaretWalker and #LangstonHughes. This was the scene throughout the 1940s at Burroughs’ old home in Bronzeville on the South Side of Chicago, as described in essays by Brooks and documented by various photographers. These cultural salons helped incubate the creative practices of current day artistic icons, and are one of the reasons that Bronzeville is now known as the birthplace of the Chicago Black Renaissance. And if Bronzeville was the birthplace of that cultural reawakening, then Burroughs—an artist, poet, and educator who eventually founded Chicago’s DuSable Museum of African American History—is one of the godmothers."
