Sarah Breedlove, better known as Madam C.J. Walker, lost her mother, Minerva, to a series of illnesses exacerbated by the hardships of their life as African Americans in the post-Civil War South. Minerva's death in 1912 had a profound impact on Walker, influencing her entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to improving the lives of Black women. This personal tragedy motivated her to create hair care products and establish a successful business, ultimately becoming a pioneer in the beauty industry.
