      actually what they achieve is common. Many of these women exist today but they hide their wealth. because these 2 women & others were so public with their wealth. Petty Uncle Sam; legislate "black hair care business to the Koreans".
      👉🏽 👉🏾 👉🏿 THE USA IS TERRIFIED when blacks have wealth; so congress gave the Billion dollar wig & import hair market to S.Korea their newest pet. 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝓀 𝒶𝒷𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝒾𝓉 They took the "L" on tax revenue so blacks dont get a "W"

      In the beginning they show madam CJ Walker getting her hair pressed by Annie Malone and also stealing her products. The Netflix series shows madam CJ being Annies employee. Did y'all missed that part?? An she also mentioned almost at the end that she took Addie's products and reinvented them to make them better Madam wanted to go into business with Addie. Addie thought she was better because she was mixed. That was also mentioned in the series.

Lawsuits, taxes ,and her divorce wiped her out. But madam died rich so that's why cj gets all the credit. Plus she had better book keeping and accountant records

    I knew of Ms Annie because of my godmother who went to her beauty college she shared photos and an awesome story; I thought to myself college or cosmetology classes She was quick to let me know it was not an beauty class it was an actual college I was reminded her words was business. See now many Google everything back then I only had my godmothers word. Its sad when history is some what lost, like the truth about Victoria Secret thank goodness for
    Tom Joyner little unknown black history stories. Using the same actors and actress truth and credit equally should go to both powerful black women visionary.
    Today's distractions are blocking many from aiming higher.

It's hard to prove that what we do is NOT just about doing hair. Especially, when "some" students enroll because they don't think highly enough of themselves and think that it's easy; thinking that they are going to attend a beauty college and graduate by playing with "baby dolls" all day. No... before you even touch a manikin you will need geometry, chemistry, electricity, infection control and anatomy & physiology.
