Could Madame CJ Walker Have Become a Billionaire?

After becoming successful, she adopted social activism into her business model. That’s fine, but I think she should have sold her supply chain operation as a service so that she could then sell her hair and beauty business to someone else. She could then charge them for supply chain management. Next, she could’ve serviced black clothing manufacturers, food companies/farmers, oil companies, insurance products, funeral home supplies, and other types of black owned businesses.

The Dark Business and Land Theft Behind the Lake Lanier History

But why don’t the history books tell us to follow the true money trail?

Today, a lot of us preach to each other that we need our own businesses and infrastructure. But what many fail to realize is that indeed, we did! Between the mid 1890s until around 1905 (and even beyond), we were pretty much self sufficient in many cities across the nation. In other words, we were a nation within a nation. Oh, but “they” couldn’t have that. We were a significant threat, not only from and independence standpoint, but also because back then, our people knew the REAL truth about our identity and property ownership.

Should Rihanna have Hired a Well-Qualified Sista CEO instead?

Now of course, there are gonna be some hardcore Rihanna fans who will blast this expert as a hater. But keep in mind that all the celebrities who have similar businesses are not the savvy business minds you think. Are they entrepreneurs with ideas? Yes, just like many of you are. But not all entrepreneurs are seasoned business experts. Otherwise, most of our street hustler entrepreneurs would be business experts lol.

Revisiting 1968’s Classic Ossie Davis Documentary ‘Inside the Negr0 Middle Class’

In another scene, another very interesting discussion about black women’s hair came up. Surprisingly, or probably not, there was a disagreement about embracing black women going natural. Pro-black sistas were all about that natural hairstyle, but sistas who owned black hair care related businesses, especially the ones that offered blond hairstyles and wigs at the time, vehemently opposed it because it would cost them revenue. I know, very interesting, right?
