Madam. C.J. Walker, the first self-made female millionaire in the U.S., is the next female role model to be honored in Barbie’s line of Inspiring Women dolls.
Walker, the daughter of former slaves, was born as Sarah Breedlove. She achieved enormous success by founding Walker Manufacturing Co., a line of haircare products and cosmetics designed for Black women, and employed thousands of Black women at her company.Later in her life, Walker went on to become a noted activist and philanthropist, supporting orphanages and Black colleges, and advocating for civil rights organizations and women's rights.
"Their design team graciously welcomed me throughout all steps of the process -- from hair development to packaging -- to capture and celebrate the legacy of this trailblazing Black businesswoman. I can't wait for a new generation to be inspired by her story and to tell their own stories through a role model who came before them.
