Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker
Netflix’s limited series, ‘Self Made’, inspired by the story of Madam C.J. Walker is a doozy, plus there’s a fun bit of drama too. In just four episodes, you’ll be introduced to the world’s first black millionaire, and you’ll walk away moved. ‘Self Made’ tells a beautiful story of how Walker overcame gender bias, racial disparities, business rivalries, low self-esteem, heartbreak, and disappointments to bring her vision into reality during tough times.
Margaret Atwood: A Word After A Word After A Word is Power
This documentary on Hulu shows Margaret Atwood, famed author of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, using the power of storytelling to highlight how powerful words truly are.

You’ll definitely take away a new perspective on storytelling.
