Sara Bridlav (engl. Sarah Breedlove; 18671919) bila je inovatorka kozmetičkih sredstava za afroamerikanke.

C.J. Voker, rođena je kao kći robova u Delti, u državi Luizijana. Još kao dete, ostala je bez oba roditelja. Često je menjala porodice u kojima je odrastala, uglavnom zbog zlostavljanja i neprimerenog tretiranja. Udala se sa 14 godina, a sa 18 postala je majka. Ostala je bez muža, kada joj je kći Lejla imala samo 2 godine.

Mozesa Mek Vijiljamsa, supruga C. J. Voker linčovali su pripadnici jedne rasističke grupe.

Kao samohrana majka, radila je kao kuvarica i kućna pomoćnica, kako bi svojoj ćerki Lejli obezbedila egzistenciju. Usled velike izloženosti stresu, opala joj je kosa, što je uticalo da C.J. Voker bude inovatorka najefikasnijeg preparata za rast kose u to vreme. Tada nije ni slutila da će ovaj preparat biti samo prvi u nizu proizvoda koji će njena kompanija “Madam CJ Walker Manufacturing” proizvoditi za afroamerikanke širom američkog kontinenta.

Razvijajući poseban sistem prodaje svojih proizvoda metodom “od vrata do vrata”, Madam C.J. Voker, 1908. godine osnovala je “Leila College” u Pitsburgu, gde je obučavala prodaji žene širom amerike. Za samo dve godine, u prodajnoj mreži kompanije, bilo je zaposleno više od 1000 žena, koje su kompaniju učinile jednom od najuspešnijih u kozmetičkoj industriji.

Za samo 9 godina, C.J. Volker, uspela je da postane prva milionerka afroameričkog porekla, koja je bogatstvo stekla svojim izumom i napornim radom. Priznanje za uspeh dobila je od Ginisove knjige rekorda koja je zabeležila taj podatak.[1] Više izvora spominje da iako su druge žene (poput Meri Elen Plezant) možda bile prve, njihovo bogatstvo nije tako dobro dokumentovano.[1][2][3] U trenutku smrti, smatrana je najbogatijom afroameričkom poslovnom ženom i najbogatijom crnkinjom koja je sama oformila svoj život.[4]

Rani život

Sarah Breedlove was born on December 23, 1867, close to Delta, Louisiana. Her parents were Owen and Minerva (Anderson) Breedlove.[5][6] She had five siblings, who included an older sister, Louvenia, and four brothers: Alexander, James, Solomon, and Owen Jr. Robert W. Burney, primarily of European ancestry, enslaved her older siblings on his Madison Parish plantation. Sarah was the first child in her family born into freedom after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Her mother died in 1872, likely from cholera (an epidemic traveled with river passengers up the Mississippi, reaching Tennessee and related areas in 1873). Her father remarried but died a year later.[7]

She was orphaned at the age of seven. Sarah moved to Vicksburg, Mississippi, at the age of 10, where she lived with Louvenia and her brother-in-law, Jesse Powell. She started working as a child as a domestic servant.[5][8] "I had little or no opportunity when I started out in life, having been left an orphan and being without mother or father since I was seven years of age," she often recounted. She also recounted that she had only three months of formal education, which she learned during Sunday school literacy lessons at the church she attended during her earlier years.[9]

Brak i porodica

Godine 1882, sa 14 godina, Sara se udala za Mojsija Makvilijamsa, čiji uzrast nije poznat, kako bi izbjegla zlostavljanje od svog zeta Džesija Pauela.[5] Sara i Mojsije su imali jednu ćerku, Leliju Makvilijams, koja je rođena 6. juna 1885. Kada je Mojsije umro 1887, Sara je imala dvadeset godina, a Lelija dve godine.[8][10] Sara se ponovo udala 1894, ali je napustila svog drugog muža Džona Dejvisa oko 1903.[11]

U januaru 1906. Sara se udala za Čarlsa Džozefa Vokera, novinskog prodavca reklama koga je poznavala u Sent Luisu, Misuri. Kroz ovaj brak, postala je poznata kao Madam C. J. Voker. Par se razveo 1912. godine; Čarls je umro 1926. Lelija Makvilijams je usvojila prezime svog očuha i postala poznata kao A'Lelija Voker.[8][12][13]

In 1888, she and her daughter moved to St. Louis, where three of her brothers lived. Sarah found work as a laundress, earning barely more than a dollar a day. She was determined to make enough money to provide her daughter with formal education.[15][7] During the 1880s, she lived in a community where Ragtime music was developed; she sang at St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church and started to yearn for an educated life as she watched the community of women at her church.[16]

Sarah suffered severe dandruff and other scalp ailments, including baldness, due to skin disorders and the application of harsh products to cleanse hair and wash clothes. Other contributing factors to her hair loss included poor diet, illnesses, and infrequent bathing and hair washing during a time when most Americans lacked indoor plumbing, central heating, and electricity.[13][9][17]

Initially, Sarah learned about hair care from her brothers, who were barbers in St. Louis.[9] Around the time of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (World's Fair at St. Louis in 1904), she became a commission agent selling products for Annie Malone, an African-American hair-care entrepreneur, millionaire, and owner of the Poro Company.[5] Sales at the exposition were a disappointment since the African-American community was largely ignored.

While working for Malone, who would later become Walker's largest rival in the hair-care industry,[16] Sarah began to take her new knowledge and develop her own product line.[12] In July 1905, when she was 37 years old, Sarah and her daughter moved to Denver, Colorado, where she continued to sell products for Malone and develop her own hair-care business. A controversy developed between Annie Malone and Sarah because Malone accused Sarah of stealing her formula, a mixture of petroleum jelly and sulfur that had been in use for a hundred years.[18]
