She got married at the age of 14, and at the age of 20, she became a single mother – The first female millionaire who made a fortune with her 10 fingers
She entered the Guinness Book of Records as the first woman to become a millionaire independently, without inherited money.
Sara Breedlove was born in 1867 in the south of the USA, in the state of Louisiana. Her parents, older brothers, and sister were slaves in the cotton fields. But Sara was born free. When she was 7 years old, she lost her parents. After her parents died, she moved in with her sister and her husband.
As a child, Sara worked as a housekeeper and did not have time for schooling. She later shared that she only had 3 months of formal education when she attended Sunday school.
She was only 14 when she married Moses McWilliams. She didn’t do it because she loved him. The truth was that her sister’s husband was a very violent man, and marriage was the only way for Sara to escape from that family. Four years later, Sarah and Moses had a daughter, Alleluia. Two years later, Sarah’s husband dies. So Sara became a single mother and a widow at the age of twenty.
In 1888, Sara moved to St. Louis. Her brothers worked there as barbers. She started working in a laundromat and as a cook to pay for her daughter’s education in a public school. Sara earned about $1.50 a day.
Like all the workers in the laundry, Sara got sick from chemicals: skin disease, lack of water, and heating in the house made Sara almost lose her hair. Thanks to her brothers, she learned the basics of hair care. A little later, Sara learns about the Eni Malon series of hair products, and later meets Eni in person. He starts selling her products on the street.
Still working for Malon, Sara, now at the age of 37, moves to Denver with her daughter and begins to think about her own line of cosmetics for African-American women. After many experiments, she succeeds. He starts building his own business.
In 1906, Sara married Charles J. Walker and later became famous under his surname. Charles becomes her business partner: He did advertising and helped his wife with promotion.
Sara went door to door trying to sell her products, but also to teach women how to care for and style their hair.
In the same year, Sara decided to expand her business, so she and her husband traveled around South and East America. Her daughter had grown up and graduated from school, so she helped her mother with all the shipments from Denver.
Two years later, Sara moves to Pittsburgh. The family opens a beauty salon, but also a school that trains people to know everything about hair care so that they can apply Sara’s products.
In 1910, Sara moved to Indianapolis, where she opened the headquarters of the company Madam C. J. Walker.
He builds a factory with a laboratory, a hair salon, and a beauty school where he teaches his sales agents. By 1917, Mrs. Walker employed about 20,000 women. Her agents earned from 5 to 15 dollars a day. Sara wanted African-American women to be financially independent, so she encouraged women to open their own businesses and taught them how to handle money.
The richer she became, the more time she spent on charities and giving. She gave lectures, fought against social injustice, and donated money to funds. Before she died, she donated more than 100,000 dollars to the poor and various organizations and social institutions.
In her will, she stated that 2/3 of her future profits should be given to charity.
She died at the age of 51. She was considered the richest African-American woman. When she died, her fortune was thought to be between $500,000 and $1 million. During her lifetime, Sara was not a millionaire, only 2 years after her death, her wealth increased, but while she was alive, she hoped that she would be. And not because she needed the money, but because she wanted to do more good deeds.

His first coming was like a lamb…
He was slaughtered.
So his 2nd coming is as a Lion – he will slaughter them -Charles Awuzie Analysis on Donald Trump
While I may have fundamental differences with Donald Trump as a person, but I am open minded to learn from his intentionality.
The problem I have with humans is bias – if they love Kamala then everything about Trump must be evil. And if they love Trump, anyone who disagrees with him is antichrist. The same applies to those who love Tinubu but think Obi is a scam and those who love Obi but sees nothing good in Tinubu – just low vibration, low frequency human consciousness – symptom of an ‘Unstretched’ Mind.
There are very few humans who are conscious of their own bias and are genuinely making efforts to KEEP AN OPEN MIND. These ones have STRETCHED their minds.
I have learnt so much from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his political moves.
I have learnt also from President Donald Trump.
I have learnt from the Holy Koran just as I have learned from the Holy Bible.
And That’s how I maintain a constant flow of inspiration – by keeping an open mind.
Trump’s intentional use of Crypto, Religion and Nationalism is worth studying.
Crypto is the modern financial culture – it’s a cult.
Religion is an ancient universal culture – it’s a cult.
Nationalism excludes people who are not from your nation while placing your nation first – it’s a cult.
This cult strategy wins every time if well executed.
If you want to win an election in your country, align with the ideals of the majority. If they want to deport all immigrants, champion it even if your wife and biggest donors are both immigrants.
Politics is a mind game. If you don’t understand this, you are still a baby. The difference between a smiling Trump and a frowning Trump is Mind Game. Your mind will effortlessly liken him to the lamb and Lion branding of Jesus.
Good morning!

I took him for his word after he successfully convincing me I’m the one that he truly loves & wanted to be with, promising to marry me as soon as the divorce proceedings with his wife was over, i believed him. During this time, I became pregnant with his child, & we now have a one-year-old daughter.
However, I’ve since discovered that he never initiated any divorce proceedings. Instead, he’s been using me emotionally & financially. instead of him giving me money like a man will normally do for the woman he claims to love, he has been collecting money from me. His latest excuse is that he doesn’t want to marry a woman with children from previous relationships.

UNIVERSITY of Zambia student’s quest to become a doctor has been temporarily halted after he was together with his ‘business’ partner for stealing phones from six students.
The student, Mike Musonda, 26, and his co-accused Equinox Tembo,24, unemployed, were jailed three years imprisonment with hard labour for stealing six phones valued at more than K14,000.
Musonda and Tembo appeared in court last week charged with six counts of theft, offences committed between August 1 and October 31, 2024.
Between the same dates, the duo stole a samsung galaxy M34 worth K4,500 from Grace Chanda, while in the second count, the accused stole an Iphone 6 worth K2,000 from Beatrice Mutale.
Accusations in the third count are that the accused stole a Huawei Pic Lite with K2,500 from Natasha Nyawa and that in the fourth count, the duo also stole an Itel S23 phone worth K2,500 from Catherine Chipasha.
In count five, the accused stole an Itel KB7 worth K2,600 from Dorcas Moyo and later stole a Techno pop 6 valued at K,1,800, the property of Mishel Siwale, in respect of the last count.
The both admitted the charges before Lusaka magistrate Amy Masoja-Chilangwa and told the court they had no claim to right to the phones.
Evidence is that during the material times, the first complaint, Ms Chanda, an UNZA student, was on her way to campus when she met Musonda, who introduced himself as an entrepreneur.
Musonda, who informed Ms Chanda that he was looking for people to ‘work’ with, later introduced her to Tembo, while at UNZA campus.
At the time, Ms Chanda had called her friend Beatrice Mutale informing her about a ‘job’ the two gentlemen were offering.
The accused later told Ms Chanda and Ms Mutale that they needed to capture their details so that they could give them identity cards for the ‘job’.
The accused then got a Samsung and an iPhone phone from the ladies on the pretext that they would get some details from the gadgets.
Musonda left with the phones leaving behind Tembo with the ladies before the latter also excused himself claiming that he wanted to use the toilet before he disappeared.
After realizing that they had been duped, the two ladies rushed to the university main entrance to alert security.
On the way, the duo met Tembo who then fled before the ladies ,security guards and other students pursued him while shouting thief.
After being apprehended, Tembo led security guards to the apprehension of Musonda before the duo was taken to Kalundu Police Post.
When news of the detention of the duo spread through campus, other affected students emerged and reported that their phones were equally stolen in a similar manner.
The affected victims went to Kalundu Police Station and gave their statements and positively identify the accused as the ones who stole their phones, which were not recovered.
In mitigation, Musonda, a medical student, asked for forgiveness because he had learnt a lesson while in remand
I’ve seen how much my friends are in pain because they now know that freedom is important. I’ve lost my sister and I am the first born. If I go for a long time, my family will be in pain” he said.
The convict said his conduct was motivated by joining bad company saying “It’s just that the friends I met made me start doing bad things’,” Musonda said.
The court heard that Musonda is a third year student but never wrote exams.
“So, instead of studying you were duping people” the magistrate said.
On his part, Tembo equally asked for leniency, pledging never to re-offend because “I am not supposed to do bad things. I want to go back to school. I want to rewrite biology”.
“You want to join him(Musonda) after rewriting biology,” the magistrate queried.
The magistrate observed that the convicts were not fully remorseful for stealing students phones, which carry vital information.
She sentenced them to three years imprisonment each.
