She didn’t wait for an opportunity — she engineered one.
And in that quiet determination, Annie Turnbo Malone unlocked a blueprint that even today’s wealth dynasties still struggle to replicate.

Long before “Black beauty” became an industry, she crafted something far more powerful — Black autonomy.
She did not inherit an industry; she built the foundation.
She did not chase validation; she built systems that validated Black women worldwide.

✨ In this episode of The Billionaires Chronicle

discover the untold story of Annie Turnbo Malone — the chemist, teacher, entrepreneur, and empire-builder who constructed one of the earliest Black-owned business empires long before most of the world even recognized the term “Black wealth.”

In this episode, you will uncover:

• How a young orphan from Illinois used chemistry to solve a problem nobody else cared enough to fix — safe, scalp-friendly beauty products designed specifically for Black women.
• How she built Poro: a self-sustaining beauty empire that trained, uplifted, and economically empowered tens of thousands across the United States and the world.
• How Poro College became one of the first major Black-owned business complexes in America — a massive, multifunctional hub with manufacturing floors, classrooms, dormitories, salons, community spaces, and an auditorium.
• How more than seventy-five thousand Poro Agents became wealth creators, property buyers, and community leaders across the United States, the Caribbean, Canada, and South America.
• The pressures that shadow every pioneer: public divorce, lawsuits, the Great Depression, relocation, and the eventual erosion of her wealth — yet not her purpose.
• Why Annie kept teaching, kept building, and kept funding Black institutions, including the St. Louis Colored Orphans’ Home, long after her empire began to fade.

💎 This is Black excellence before visibility.
A quiet empire that redefined beauty, business, and belonging — one Black woman at a time.

She didn’t just build a brand.
She built a blueprint.
And that blueprint became the architecture of an entire industry.
