We compare the Self Made Netflix series to the true story of Madam C.J. Walker, her daughter A'Lelia Walker, and her hair-care rival Annie Malone.
Madam C.J. Walker was a business woman, activist, and philanthropist who became America's first self-made, female millionaire.
Sarah Breedlove, better known as Madam CJ Walker, is America's first female self-made millionaire. She grew up in poverty and by the age of 20 was a widowed woman bringing up a two year old daughter alone. To try to make money she took in laundry. Due to a scalp condition, Sarah began to lose her hair so she started experimenting with some of the laundry chemicals she has used, hoping to find a cure.
These women rose above the limits put on them by others to accomplish amazing things. And that is beautiful.
