Black History Month: Madame C.J. Walker

Madam C.J. Walker, a.k.a Sarah Breedlove, was the very first African American self-made female millionaire in America. She made hair care products for black women. In her late 30’s, she was struggling with major hair loss because of the mixture of stress and damaging hair products. After many hours of experimenting, she finally came up with a hair growth product. She exclaimed that after praying for a solution, she had a dream about the formula.

Her friends and family noticed how good the new product was working for her and many of them asked her to make them a bottle as well. That is where the first of her millions of dollars were made. She began to start selling door to door, and her husband, Charles Joseph Walker, a newspaperman, helped with advertising.


On May 25th, 1919, after not taking her doctor’s advice to slow down, she died of hypertension. Millions of dollars have been made off her invention.

I just wanted to inform your readers of this very important fact – Madame C.J. Walker’s historic company still exists today and has never stopped manufacturing all of the original hair oils! Anyone who visits our website at http://www.madamewalker.net can view and purchase the full product line. The website also contains valuable information about the stock / asset sale (including the ability to view the stock certificates) and Raymond Randolph’s purchase of the original Madame C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company in 1985 from the Walker Trustees in Indianapolis, Indiana and how the Randolph Family continues to keep Madame Walker’s true legacy alive. To promote the entrepreneurial spirit that Madame Walker exemplified, the website provides individuals the opportunity to become a “Walker Agent” and sell Madame C.J. Walker products. By clicking on the “Find A Distributor” tab, you will see agents located in the United Kingdom, France, Bahamas, and the United States. September 2011 marked the Centennial Anniversary of the incorporation of Madame C.J. Walker’s historic company – doing business today as Madame C.J. Walker Enterprises. On September 24th, 2011 we commemorated this event with the “Tracing the Footsteps of a Legacy” 100th Year Celebratory Walk. You can visit our website to view the Souvenir Program. Due to our ownership of Madame’s historic company and the historical documents and memorabilia of the company, the Randolph Family can provide the most detailed and historically accurate information about Madame C.J. Walker and her company by calling toll free, 866-552-2838, by clicking on the “Frequently Asked Questions” FAQS tab of our website, or by going to the contact us page of our website. Angela Randolph
