You might say that I was the first and caused others to awaken to the sense of their duty in helping deserving causes for the benefit of the race.

I want the great masses of my people to take a greater pride in their personal appearance and to give their hair proper attention.

There would be no hair growing business today had I not started it.

I am not ashamed of my past. I am not ashamed of my humble beginning.

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.
