Madam C.J. Walker

                 Madam C. J. Walker was born December 33, 1867 and dies May 25 1919. She created hair products for many women  she also created the Pressing Comb she created Shampoo in  1907 and was an entrepreneur who built her empire developing hair products  and was an orphan at the age of seven.She said she wanted to attempt to help black women take better proper care of their hair and to help it grow more. She spent all of her life helping many women  have healthy hair and  producing women fell nice about their  hair.
My Thoughts on Madam C. J. Walker is that she has inspired many young people and have shown them that they can do anything that they put their mind to and color does not matter.She has made  many great products that will still help many women hair today and has created the pressing comb that we still use . Even though she has  died many people still remember her from her great accomplishments she is a role model and a great person.
