Coming this spring to Netflix, Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer will star as Madam C. J. Walker on Self Made, a four-part period piece based on the biography by Walker’s great-great-granddaughter, A’Lelia Bundles, about the woman, the legend, the philanthropist and sociopolitical activist and, whaddya know (or don’t), America’s first female self-made millionaire.

Let’s get upconscious.
The struggle was real in 2019, yet courage and determination and agency (and a good bit o’ faith) defined the entertainment we could consider and enjoy at the movies or in the stream this year – and, I know…matters will continue to be and, even, get only ever more pressing in 2020. I can either […]
I spotted Cory going through one of those large commercial/residential trash bins and making a mess on the street near a signage shop on Van Ness.
