✨ Madam C.J. Walker (Self Made) – The first female self-made millionaire in America, she revolutionized the Black haircare industry.
✨ Dorothy Vaughn (Hidden Figures) – A pioneering NASA mathematician whose work helped launch the U.S. into space.
✨ Captain Noelle Campbell (The Six Triple Eight) – A leader in the first and only all-Black, all-female battalion in WWII.

At Central Piedmont, education goes beyond the classroom—it’s about making a difference! 💄✨ Our Cosmetology students have been using their skills to empower women at Carolina Breast Friends’ Pink House, a local organization that provides support and community for women undergoing or recovering from breast cancer treatments.

Our Cosmetology students are planning more workshops for the amazing women at the Pink House and look forward to continuing their work with Carolina Breast Friends of Charlotte. This is more than just makeup—it’s about lifting each other up and celebrating strength, beauty, and community! 🌟

Jasmin Cobb fell in love with photography as a high school sophomore, captivated by the art of capturing meaningful moments. By 15, she had already decided to pursue it professionally, building her skills and portfolio.
But as her career grew, she realized that artistic talent alone wasn’t enough—she needed business knowledge to succeed. “I wanted a college that was affordable, provided a close-knit community, and helped me grow as a business owner.”
That search led Jasmin to Central Piedmont, where she enrolled in the Associate of Arts program with a focus on Business Entrepreneurship.
👩🏫 Mentorship That Made a Difference
Jasmin found more than just classes—she found professors who cared. One instructor, Blessing Aghimien, helped her overcome one of her biggest fears: public speaking. “She helped me gain the skills to be a more confident speaker,” Jasmin said.
Now, Jasmin is combining her creativity and business skills to turn her passion into a thriving career. 🎓✨
