Eunice Bodie, a 92 years young hairdresser, certainly deserves mention. She worked the cotton fields as a youngster and got herself out of there.

“MEMPHIS, Tenn. —At 92 years young, one Memphis woman is proof that greatness never goes out of style.
Eunice Bodie was hired by Sam Gould as the first Black hairstylist at Gould’s and she didn’t just remain booked and busy through the decades—she made history, one appointment at a time.
WREG introduced Bodie on her 92nd birthday as she celebrated with her long-time work family at the Gould’s Salon in Germantown.
Bodie started her career more than 70 years ago, but she tells WREG’s Brayel Brown every day is exciting, like the first day of work.
“At the age of 14, we started going to the cotton patch, chopping cotton,” explained Ms. Bodie. “And I use to always say, ‘If I ever get out of the cotton patch, I’m going to start doing hair.’”
There’s nothing better than waking up each day to do the work you love.”
