This #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re shining a massive spotlight on a true pioneer who often gets overshadowed! Say hello to the incredible Annie Turnbo Malone, one of the first Black women to become a self-made millionaire in the U.S.! 💰

Long before the industry took notice, Annie saw a need and built an empire. Her Poro College in St. Louis was way more than just a beauty school – it was a hub for economic empowerment, education, and opportunity for thousands of Black women. She revolutionized hair care for Black women and used her incredible wealth to become one of the most generous philanthropists of her time, supporting countless charitable and educational institutions.

Her legacy is about more than just products; it’s about vision, resilience, and lifting as you climb. We honor you, Annie Turnbo Malone! 🧡

Which TV show has everyone talking right now?

In Season Seven and Eight we talked about some of the best African American movies ever. The list was so long we had to do it in two seasons. Some of the movies were made by African Americans, while others were only stories that included American Africans. All of these movies were life changing.

On a recent podcast appearance, Barack Obama reflected on the presidency of Donald Trump by suggesting that while there was plenty of spectacle and media clowning surrounding the administration, the real consequences were far more serious than late night punchlines. He cautioned that treating politics like entertainment, complete with constant clowning on social media, can distract from the tangible impact policies have on everyday people. Obama’s broader point was that democracy demands focus and responsibility, even when the political arena starts to resemble a stage built for viral moments.
