    This was an amazing feat for a black woman at this period. This is a shame that Madame C.J. Walker's daughter squandered her money. Just because you create generational wealth doesn't mean that your descendants or offspring, deserve or even want your business that you have created with hard work blood sweat, and tears.

      She was the FIRST EVER Black Heiress! Being frivolous with money has nothing to do with race and everything to do with social status! What she did was no different than a lot of other spoiled rich kids. Also coupled with the fact the country was in one of the worst economic statuses of it’s time!!! She enjoyed her life. It’s a shame to see you older black women so judgmental like you haven’t made mistakes in your life time as well. You all take the first chance you can get to condemn others instead of uplifting and wonder why we can’t get anywhere as a people.

Tried to literally pay my child (when she was a tween - adulthood) to learn about producing, persevering, perpetuating and protecting money and she has always been disinterested, dismissive and even apathetic unless it’s about spending it. I’ve broken the curse of generational poverty in my family but sad part is, my family is so juvenile and pedestrian in their thinking about money that I do believe i’ll situate my Trust in a manner that majority of my money will go to organizations I donate my time and money to because Id be rolling over in my grave if i knew my child and family created a hot mess of my hard earned wealth like CJ Walker’s daughter did.

      Not a good philosophy to believe or pass on. There are families that are very skilled at creating and protecting generational wealth. There is a science and an art to it. Parents who are newly wealthy need mentorship or education about how to create children and generations that are capable of building and managing wealth.
      Many newly wealthy parents do not admit that they lack the skills and family culture for child rearing that ensures successful wealth management. Sometimes the first generation also has mental and emotional health issues regarding success and if these issues are not resolved then they set up their own family to fail. Or at least they encourage situations involving their children that ensure that the next generations accomplish less than the first generation. This is a form of self defeating competition by older family leaders against their own offspring.
      Sometimes this also happens because of lack of long term thinking and objectivity, poor family bonding, low self esteem, or ego dominance and control issues. Sometimes the older and more financially powerful first generation simply refuses to empower the next generation because of selfish and short term attitudes. This results in suffocating the changes, innovations and upgrades that younger and well prepared offspring can bring to a business and this is the older generation's desired result. Even if it hurts the family's future wealth and businesses. Sometimes there is a jealousy and resentment of youthful energy and potential which are shortcircuited by business owners because of a dislike for adapting to change.
      Similarly, children have to be taught the importance of successful business and family culture. Sometimes children develop poor habits, attitudes and immature resentments toward their parents and family when they are not sufficiently guided, mentored or disciplined. The older, busy and hardworking wealth creators in a family may find these youthful resentments intolerable and frustrating. However, it is the parents that bring forth the children. So parents are the greater force that shapes and determines the family and the next generations.
      From a long term generational wealth perspective, only irresponsible or self defeating parents blame their children for their children's weaknesses, poor characters, attitudes or skills. The parents' choices about how to raise their children and taking the time to understand what their children are best suited to do, the parents' cultures, lifestyles, and the environments that they create are what most affect the earliest and most powerful phases of their children's development. Children mimic or follow the leadership of their parents and they become the environments that are allowed to influence to them until they become competent to lead themselves. 'Black' families and aspiring blue collar, middle and upper middle class entrepreneurial famillies still have a lot to learn about wealth creation and keeping that wealth growing into the future. Balanced high quality parenting, environment and mentorship are essential when teaching children about smart generational wealth management.

    Extremely well researched
    and presented video.
    Madame C.J. is of special interest to me as I was born and raised in Irvington's more humble side of town, not but a 10-minute walk from her gracious Villa Lewaro. In fact my sisters and I all took piano lessons at Mrs. Carter's house just next store, so we used to walk past every other day.
    Growing up in that sleepy little river town, albeit half a century after the Walkers, we used to hear remarkable stories about the legendary parties and distinguished guests - but what somehow became confused in the local folklore, and what you've now made more clear, is that it wasn't Madame CJ who was hosting those extravagant parties, but instead daughter Lelia. So thank you for creating this fine video, which not only enhances my hometown knowledge, but delivers on the fascinating larger historical picture as well

I heard a documentary years ago, where a long time assistant to Madame Walker said that, Madame Walker "spoiled her daughter and she spent money like it was water." Her daughter didn't have any business savy like her mother and quite frankly she probably didn't have any interest in the haircare business, as well. Great investigating, presentation and photos, too. Have a fantastic week. Hugs to Indy and Rocko. Take care 💞

    We shouldn't judge her too harshly. Many rich people who saved and invested lost it all in the great depression. At least she enjoyed it while she had it. Those lavish parties gave black people career and business contacts they would not have otherwise had. Think of how much she contributed to people making a living with all the things and services she paid for. Plus just being a black woman present and visible at that level pushed out the boundaries for other black women. She died too young but is chocolate cake and champagne really a bad way to go?

    Her spending habits had more to do with why she had nothing by the time of her death. Additionally she had no barometer for savings, responsibility, or any level of planning ahead for her future.

    I think the daughter was quite justified in having a good time.
    I don't blame her one little bit.
    I would have loved to have gone to one of her parties and it is a shame that many people tried to fleece her.
    Madame Walker was a hero. The first millionaire! Yay. I already knew about her! And your voice is soothing and the right tempo. Bless you xx

    Madame Walker and her daughter both died fairly young. They lived by The Vanderbilt's . Her daughter was the one that spent the money on lavish parties. What A Waste !!!!! Most of this history is gone. If her daughter had done right , the history could had been carried down.

    She is yet another example of why you don't belittle the achievement of someone who becomes richer after having been left money by their rich parents. It takes a smart person to augment inherited riches.
