🎨💰#ArtIsAWeapon #MadameCJWalker (Sarah Breedlove) - America's first female self-made millionare - was born on this day (December 23) in 1867. An #entrepreneur, #philanthropist, #artspatron and #political/#social activist, Mrs. 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 active against racial injustices. Her life's story is fascinating and empowering. I'm excited about the 📺 television project on her life being developed by NBA champion @kingjames and Oscar-winning actress @octaviaspencer, which will be based on the book “On Her Own Ground” by A’Lelia Bundles @aleliabundles, Walker’s great-great-granddaughter. www.madamecjwalker.com. 🎨 by #historian, #writer, #artist A.K.
