Madame Walker Script

Sarah Breedlove  was born on Dec. 23rd 1867 in poverty-stricken rural Louisiana. The daughter of former slaves, she was orphaned at the age of seven. Sarah  and her older sister survived by working in the cotton fields of Delta and Vicksburg, Mississippi. She married at age fourteen and her only daughter A'Lelia was born in 1885. After her husband's death two years later, she traveled to St. Louis to join her four brothers who had made it as barbers. Working as a laundrywoman, she managed to save enough money to educate her daughter, and became involved in activities with the National Association of Colored Women.

During the 1890s, Sarah began to suffer from a scalp ailment that caused her to lose some of her hair. Embarrassed by her appearance, she experimented with a variety of home-made remedies and products made by another black woman entrepreneur, Annie Malone. In 1905, Sarah became a sales agent for Malone and moved to Denver, where she married Charles Joseph Walker.

When she changed her name to Madame C.J. Walker she started to sell her hair products on her own. To promote her products she went from South to the Southwest, going door to door giving demonstrations.

Eventually she formed a basis for a thriving national business, gaining over 3,000 employees. Her Walker System, which included a broad offering of cosmetics, licensed Walker Agents, and Walker Schools offered meaningful employment and personal growth to thousands of Black women.
Madame C.J. Walker passed away on May 25th 1919. 

"I am a woman who came from the cotton fields of the South. From there I was promoted to the washtub. From there I was promoted to the cook kitchen. And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparations. I have built my own factory on my own ground" - Madame Walker

ID theft thoughts

My thoughts on ID theft are much clearer now.  I know who to give my information too and who not to give it too. I know that is something ever happens to my accounts I need to call the bank and close them. I also know that if something happens to call the police.

I also know how to stay safe online now. I now know not to go into weird websites and I know not to give my email to anyone but family and friends. If someone is being really creepy I need to block them and tell my mom and dad. I know if someone is being rude to me I need to block and report.

What I learned from Deputy Krupp was to always tell my mom and dad if something happens. And to never agree to meet up with someone I met online. I know how to stay safe online and how to protect my ID. I

Christmas Break

My Christmas Break.

On Christmas Eve my dad's side of the family came over for the 'Brushaber' side of the party, we all ate and opened presents. I had my grandma, my grandpa, my great Aunt Nan, her boyfriend Kevin, My Aunt Jenny, My Uncle Richard and my cousins Nicole, Megan, Sarah and Samantha.

When they all got to my house we all ate ham, cheesy potatoes, and meatballs my dad makes every year. For desert we had homemade candies my cousin Nicole made and cookies. After that we went into the living room to open presents. The way my family opens is the youngest goes first, then it goes on. After the kids are done opening the adults go. After we opened presents we all sat in the family room and talked. Around 10:30 11:00 everyone was on their way home.

On Christmas morning my brothers woke the house up. We opened presents, after that I went to bed again. Around 3:30 we got ready to go to my other grandmas. There's only my brothers and I there. So it was my family and my nana and papa. We ate ham, baked potatoes and corn there. We had pie for desert.

They day afrermy aunt Kaite and my Aunt Erin came to visit. They left on Saturday.

The rest of my break I sat at the house and relaxed.
