Title: Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker (2020)

The inspiring story of trailblazing African American entrepreneur Madam C.J. Walker who built a haircare empire that made her America's first female self-made millionaire.
Before this series I had never heard about Mme CJ Walker or Annie Malone so it did introduce me to the subject. Then I found out the truth. There is no need for them to create a new narrative especially at the cost of slandering someone in this case Annie Malone and putting the other, Mme CJ Walker on a pedestal. They could have done a much more thoughtful and accurate portrayal. Also I think it would have been better without the modern music. It's entertaining enough but the depiction should be taken with a grain of salt.
