Even though she didn’t stay in Peoria, she would go on to become the first black female millionaire through the sale of her hair care products.

Today, Peoria Magazine is the local voice for beauty trends, including cosmetics and hairstyles. The publication showcases not only the style trends of the Midwest but also what beauty trends are happening locally in Peoria.
