What does Oprah Winfrey and Madam C.J Walker have in common with each other? Well...both of them were very rich, but in the interest of Miss C.J Walker, she was the first Black female (self made) in America. Oprah Winfrey was also a self made millionaire who became the first Black female billionaire. Not only that, Oprah is the richest woman in the entire world.

As someone from the UK, who is Madam C J Walker.
I know about Oprah, I have see her chat shows.
I would like to say though, what has their colour got to do with it. Oprah has worked her way up to the top like many other woman and because she is talented she has made it. Emphasising her colour always seems to detract the issue. I live in a country now where the colour of someones skin over rides everything. If we want equality and acceptance all round stop naming people by their colour and just celebrate them for what they have achieved.
Otherwise how are we ever going to move forward???

Madam C.J Walker existed before Mary K products. She was the first Black self made millionaire in America. She at one time was one of the richest people in America during the turn of the 20th century.
That for a Black woman was fantastic. She was also an influence on Oprah Winfrey who is the richest woman in the world. She is the first billionaire who is a Black woman.
It is a big deal because some many people place such a big deal on color...still in the United States.
