Madam CJ Walker, born Sarah Breedlove, is considered one of the first female self-made millionaires in US History. She acquired her fortune by manufacturing and selling pomades for Afro-textured hair, which were sold door to door in the 20th Century American South. Part of her inspiration stems from her own hair loss early in life, and prior experience washing hair at her brother's barbershop. "CJ" comes from Charles J, her second husband who helped promote her budding business. Much of her earnings were donated to support civil rights organizations and a multifunctional headquarters in Indianapolis that served employees and community members alike.
