In the 1920s, a Black heiress was unheard of—until A’Lelia Walker.

A'Lelia Bundles wants to set the record straight. In a candid interview on the "It's UATL" podcast, the author of "On Her Own Ground" and the great-great-granddaughter of Black hair care pioneer Madam C.J. Walker, shared her reactions to Netflix’s 2020 miniseries "Self Made." Bundles praised Octavia Spencer’s star performance as Walker, but expressed frustration over the show’s distortion of historical figures and relationships — particularly between Walker and Annie Malone.
