Following the Brightened Path

Madam C.J. Walker, the first self-made female millionaire in the U.S., is the next role model to be honored in Barbie's line of Inspiring Women dolls. Walker, born in 1867 to slaves, founded a line of haircare products and cosmetics designed for Black women. She became an activist and philanthropist, supported orphanages and Black colleges, and advocated for civil rights organizations and women's rights.
“It’ pretty hard for the Lord to guide you if you haven’t made up your mind which way to go.” - Madame C. J. Walker
Affirmative prayer: I am open to the many ways that pure Spirit shows up in my life. I steadfastly follow the path brightened by the Divine, and I am grateful for the wellspring of love and power within me. I am in union with others on this journey. May I be a loving presence for my sisters and brothers. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
