Black History Fact ✨
Did you know Madam C.J. Walker became the first self-made female millionaire in America?
She built her fortune by creating haircare products for Black women and used her success to uplift her community through philanthropy and activism.

Black history is innovation. Black history is excellence. Black history is every day. ✊🏾

🎉 What an amazing day at the MLK Parade! 🎉

The girls in The Colours Program had THE BEST time marching and celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 💛🖤 The energy was incredible, and they were so excited to meet and take a photo with Mayor Craig Morgan, showing our community pride alongside Round Rock’s leadership! 📸✨

Thank you to everyone who came out — we’re so proud of our girls and the spirit they brought to this meaningful event! 🙌❤️
