DOING IT FOR THE CULTURE: ACCORDING TO WAX & WONDER BRAND AMBASSADORS
Our Ambassadors are storytellers and social entrepreneurs, who are making an impact in their local U.S communities and throughout the Black Diaspora.
Here's what Natasha said:
"My fate was sealed junior year of high school. I had a Business Economics teacher who saw my untapped passion and nurtured my love for numbers. I mean I had always done well in all the Math classes I had taken but this was something different, something SPECIAL. It was bookkeeping, bank account balancing, debits and credits, and playing with other folks money (
) and I LOVED IT.
So for this Black History Month tribute I’ve chosen to shout out Mrs. Mary T Washington, CPA. She was the first African American woman to become a certified public accountant
(CPA), and the 13th African American to enter the profession in the United States. She stood out in a field that was generally reserved for men.
Born in 1906, she also excelled as a math student and passed the Illinois state CPA exam in 1943. What stands out the most was her willingness to train the next generation of black CPAs, who came from across the US to gain work experience. We salute you Mrs Washington and thank you for being a trailblazer."
