Madam C.J. Walker Brunch Experience – Beauty Boss Brunch Bash Detroit

Step into the story of Madam C.J. Walker—America’s first self-made woman millionaire—through food, story, and Detroit’s rich Black businesswomen's legacy.

The Beauty Boss Brunch Bash is an immersive Cook Like A Boss® Detroit experience that brings history to life on the plate.

At the turn of the 20th century, Madam C.J. Walker built more than a beauty empire—she created a network of powerful women entrepreneurs who sold door to door, building wealth, community, and influence. In Detroit, that legacy lived on through places like Paradise Valley and Hastings Street, where Black business thrived.

This story is still alive today. In communities like Oak Grove A.M.E. Church, the impact of Walker’s agents is remembered as part of a living legacy of beauty professionals as entrepreneurs—strategists, builders, and bosses in their own right.

During this experience, you’ll enjoy a Southern Style Sunday Supper while being guided through the stories, flavors, and cultural connections that shaped Detroit.

You’ll also be welcomed with our signature “She IS the Boss” Sparkling Toast and walk away with Cook Like A Boss® quick cooking hacks—time-saving techniques designed for the busiest Beauty Bosses.

This is more than brunch.

This is culture, community, and legacy—served at the table.
