1. Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker - Movie Review
Self Made is based on the true story of Sarah Breedlove, who, despite being born to enslaved parents in 1867, went on to became the first self-made female ...
Last week, I watched the Netflix miniseries Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker. These are my key takeaways.

And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparations….I have built my own factory on my own ground.” – Madam C.J. Walker I won’t bore you with a recap of the entire series, but will instead share the key business takeaways from my notes (this may be the f...
