Celebrating Black History Month – Madam C.J. Walker
Madam C. J. Walker (1867-1919) was “the first Black woman millionaire in America” and made her fortune thanks to her homemade line of hair care products for Black women. Born Sarah Breedlove to parents who had been enslaved, she was inspired to create her hair products after an experience with hair loss, which led to the creation of the “Walker System” of hair care. A talented entrepreneur with a knack for self-promotion, Walker built a business empire, at first selling products directly to Black women, then employing “beauty culturalists” to hand-sell her wares. The self-made millionaire used her fortune to fund scholarships for women at the Tuskegee Institute and donated large parts of her wealth to the NAACP, the Black YMCA and other charities.

Local Teen and CAL-Southwest Student Opens Self Care Business During Pandemic and Sees Big Success
We are so excited to highlight one of our own students as one of the youngest business owners in our area! Christian Academy of Louisville – Southwest eighth-grader Kayla Marie opened Bubbly Bliss Bar at 2110 Bardstown Road in December and has proven that nothing is impossible with faith and hard work!
Bubbly Bliss Bar by Kayla Marie features a wide variety of all natural bath, beauty and wellness products including candles, teas, cosmetics, bath bombs, soaps and even a men’s grooming line. The store aims to be a happy place for customers. It smells amazing and Kayla herself curates the store’s playlist to feature uplifting music.
After losing her father suddenly in 2015, Kayla was overcome with sadness and anxiety. She leaned on her faith and turned to the things she loved doing to find happiness – making and mixing things, baking and being creative. That’s how the business was born!

Congratulations Mrs. Kathy Coble!
Last week, Superintendent Darin Long visited Christian Academy of Louisville’s Southwest Campus to present the 2020-2021 ALL IN! Outstanding Teacher Award to Ms. Kathy Coble, PE Teacher.
“Enough cannot be said about Mrs. Coble and how grateful we are to have her at our Southwest Campus. Not only is she a fantastic PE teacher, she is always willing to jump in and help out where help is needed. Every day she helps out in the cafeteria during her planning/lunch, opening milk cartons, ketchup packets, etc. During an eight-week stretch when our previous manager was out, she served lunch and helped us roll out and set up tables almost every day. She is always seeking out ways to serve others. Mrs. Coble has always been kind, loving and encouraging to all of the students at our campus. It is obvious that she genuinely cares for them, not only in their educational life, but in their everyday and spiritual life as well. She brings so much value to our campus family and is a joy to work with.”
Thank you for all you do for our school!
