 An admirer of Madame C.J. Walker, hair care manufacturer and the first self-made female African-American millionaire, Roger ironically is born on December 23, the same day as Madame Walker.  The shared birthdate with Madame C.J. Walker motivated Mr. Gore to make a difference in the hair care and beauty industry. In 1995, at the age of 28, he founded G'Natural Herbal Products and became the youngest African-American hair and beauty products manufacturer in the beauty industry.  He has been lauded by city leaders for his work to promote the field of cosmetology. He was instrumental in having June proclaimed as  "Cosmetology Month in the District."  In 2001, he received the "Measure of a Man" Outstanding Achievement Award from Anheuser-Busch Companies for producing a program to help raise money for Anheuser-Busch's college scholarship program drawing from the resources of the beauty industry. 

A dynamic motivational speaker, Mr. Gore has given numerous seminars and lectures at the prestigious Warren Business College "Young Entreprenuers Program" and at beauty trade shows across the country regarding the importance of proper hair care.  In the course of speaking on the beauty show circuit, Mr. Gore was troubled by questions and practices that he witnessed with respect to the use of weaves at young ages and the weaving of hair over damaged relaxed hair.  The practices and trends he saw motivated him to mount a "Leave the Weave" campaign in 2001.  The campaign caught the attention of Washington Post writer Kevin Merida, who wrote in the "Side Streets" column of The Washington Post Magazine that Gore "offers women a bargain: Turn in your weaves, and get up to 50 percent discount on his G'Natural Hair Repar Kit ..."  Gore is "energetic and ambitious."
