Скачать или смотреть ANNIE TURNBO MALONE - SELF MADE AND UNSUNG (FIRST FEMALE & FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN MILLIONAIRE)

Annie Turnbo Malone overcame the hurdles facing Black women in a segregated America and created a globe spanning, multi-million dollar cosmetics empire. Annie Minerva Turnbo Malone’s story is basically unknown as being the first female as well as the first Black woman to become a self made millionaire. She built a Black hair care empire called Poro that reported assets of $14 million in 1920. In the first three decades of the 20th century, she founded and developed a large and prominent commercial and educational enterprise centered on cosmetics for African-American women.

Today, Annie Malone's place in history has been all but eclipsed by that of a former protégé-turned-rival who is alleged to have stolen Malone’s formulas and passed them off as her own: Madam C.J. Walker. Fifty years before Mary Kay came on the scene, there was Annie Malone and Madam C. J. Walker. #anniemalone #porocollege #anniemaloneselfmade
