Reposted from @urbanintellectuals - Dethroning Oprah Winfrey as the richest black woman in the world, Nigerian fashion designer turned oil financier, Folorunsho Alakija, is worth an estimated $7 billion. She began building a fortune in the 1980s with the development of a successful fashion design and tailoring company known as Rose of Sharon House of Fashion. - As the company gained momentum, Alakija began making connections with prominent individuals in the Nigerian community including the wife of former military president, Ibrahim Babangida. What may have started as a casual transaction became an opportunity to gain wealth in one of Africa’s richest natural resources, crude oil. - Alakija applied for an oil prospecting license in 1993 and upon acquisition of the license, her company- Famfa Limited-was granted the right to explore for oil on a 617,000-acre block of land just outside of Nigeria. - As of 2015, she is listed in Forbes Magazine as #87 on the Most Powerful Women List and she is the second of just 2 female billionaires in the entire continent. - In an effort to empower the community from which she came, Alakija launched The Rose of Sharon Foundation. The non-profit organization helps orphans and widows through the provision of scholarships and grants, a philanthropic venture that will not only add to her own legacy but will spark that of Alakija’s fellow Africans. - Tag 2 friends who need her story in their life #urbanintellectuals #BlackLivesMatter #BlackEducator #BlackEducators BlackTeachersMatter #Changingthenarrative #Blackhistory #Africanhistory #History #WorldHistory #Blackexcellence #Blackhistorymonth #AfricanAmericanHistory #CivilRights #CivilRightsMovement #unapologeticallyblack #BlackPower #Blackconsciousness #BlackAndWealthy @WarriorSoulJah (at El Paso, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BytM1WLndc3kOU1yNsS0tCy-Q83nQ_DmDpm6W00/?igshid=1vc4rl8otjqnu
