Black Queens Inventions

Queens And There Victories

By Lucille BlountPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

Let’s Start With Madam C.J Walker, Who’s Real Name Is Actually Sarah Breedlove. See She Was Born To Enslaved Sharecroppers. And Was Orphaned At The Young Age Of Seven. But Why Is That Important?. See You Need To Get A Hint Of Her Before Life. Now What Made Her Invent What She Did?. Well, She Sufffered From Hair Loss From A Scalp Condition. And So That Motivated Her To Create Black Hair Care. Why Do You Look Up To Her?. As A Black Woman Who Wants To Own A Business And Become Somebody Was A Hard Vision. Firstly, I’m Black And We Don’t Get Many Chances To Beat Society Odds. And Secondly, I’m A Woman And That There Is Just Hard As Is. And Seeing Where Walker Started And How She Finished Inspired Me. She Ended Up Being A Self-Made Millionare With A Cosmetic Business That Never Stopped Being In Business.

And That’s The Same Reason I Look Up To Brown. A Home Security Inventor. This Wonderful Woman Who Was Also A Nurse Aint Feel To Sace In Her Neighborhood. So She Rigges A Motorized Camera So She Could Record Her Home Frontway And She Even Had Made To Where It Projected Images Onto A TV Monitor. And She Even Set It Up So She Could Speak To The Visitors Without Going To The Door.And To Really TOP It Off She Made Sure It Had A 9-1-1 Button. And It All Got Approved To Be Something In 1969 Of December.

Now That’s Black Girl Magic! See Knowing Just How Things Got Invented It’s Amazing. But Knowing A Black Woman Did It’s More Amazing. I Have So Many More That I Look Up To. And They All Give Me Hope That My Business Will Boom Someday All I Need To Do....Is Do.

I Do Wanna Give My Applause To More Cause They Deserved It. Like Sarah Good For Her Folding Cabinet. And Mary Kenner For Her Sanitary Belt. Don’t Forget Lyda Newman For Her Brush. And This One Is One Of My Biggest Inspirations. Her Devices Was Always Declined But She Made Another One. And Eventually Her Inventions Was Needed. But Unfortunately She Had To Give Rights To Someone Else For Her Inventions To Be Marketed. And Her Name Is Bessie Blount Griffin. Her Middle Name Is My Last Actually. But, She Invented A Device To Help Amputee Soldiers Eat. And There’s Just A lot More So, Look Her Up. And Finally Ellen Eglin, The Inventor Of A Clothes Wringer. You Know The Ones That Be In The Locker At The Pool Place, Yea She Did That.

All The Women Over Cam The Racist System With Their Inventions. And They Ain’t Sorry For It. So Many Inventions Have Been Tooken Over By A White Man. And Thanks To Internet We Know The Truth. I Honestly Thought That I Would Never Be Able To Create Anything Cause A White Person Is Supposed To Do That Cause It Ain’t No Black Inventors. Well Not None School Gone Talk About. See Woman History Is The Best History Cause Are Always Known For One Thing, Making Babies, Cooking, Cleaning, And Do What Your Husband Need And Want You To. And Guess What, They Recreated The System When The Created Their Inventions. If It Wasn’t For These Stong Willed Black Women Changing Opinions With They Invention We Wouldn’t Have Been Able To Be More Than A Housewife. And That’s Even Going For The Woman Rights Movement March.

I Mean Black Women Put The Foot Down And Spoke Out For Them To Become Millionares. Like They Died Rich. And They Never Gave Up And That Right There Gives Me Courage To Fight For What I Want, Like These Gorgeous Black Women Before Me.
