In 1906, Madam C.J. Walker made a bold business decision: putting her own image on her product containers. As award-winning journalist and 'Joy Goddess' author A'Lelia Bundles shares about her great-great-grandmother, "To say that I'm beautiful enough to put myself on this product container... was quite radical." Through groundbreaking brand strategies, Walker built one of America's first Black-owned beauty empires. Sometimes the best business insights come from hearing history's pioneering voices. Discover the impact of this family’s rich legacy in our latest Audible interview with editor Yvonne Durant. #WomenInBusiness #Innovation #Entrepreneurship
