actually what they achieve is common. Many of these women exist today but they hide their wealth. because these 2 women & others were so public with their wealth. Petty Uncle Sam; legislate "black hair care business to the Koreans". 👉🏽 👉🏾 👉🏿 THE USA IS TERRIFIED when blacks have wealth; so congress gave the Billion dollar wig & import hair market to S.Korea their newest pet. 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝓀 𝒶𝒷𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝒾𝓉 They took the "L" on tax revenue so blacks dont get a "W"

[@kayi.4929]

In the beginning they show madam CJ Walker getting her hair pressed by Annie Malone and also stealing her products. The Netflix series shows madam CJ being Annies employee. Did y'all missed that part?? An she also mentioned almost at the end that she took Addie's products and reinvented them to make them better Madam wanted to go into business with Addie. Addie thought she was better because she was mixed. That was also mentioned in the series.

Actually Malone was the first self made millionaire. And actually was worth more than cj walker at the height of they success. the only difference was bad accountant records and book keeping. Lawsuits, taxes ,and her divorce wiped her out. But madam died rich so that's why cj gets all the credit. Plus she had better book keeping and accountant records

I knew of Ms Annie because of my godmother who went to her beauty college she shared photos and an awesome story; I thought to myself college or cosmetology classes She was quick to let me know it was not an beauty class it was an actual college I was reminded her words was business. See now many Google everything back then I only had my godmothers word. Its sad when history is some what lost, like the truth about Victoria Secret thank goodness for Tom Joyner little unknown black history stories. Using the same actors and actress truth and credit equally should go to both powerful black women visionary. Today's distractions are blocking many from aiming higher. Success Is attainable yet not many are encouraged to be self made. Note now with the Internet most young people would rather be on social media then trying to invent or better something.

The acting was good; I know M.Carter, LeBron James and O. Spenser worked hard but I think hiring Kasi "Bigger Long" Lemmons was a mistake. Could have included A. Malone and that would have shown Madam CJ Walker and her working together as Madam was Annie's top sales-woman. Just glad to see folks doing research along with learning truths.

[@ronronsrampage]

I am glad the truth is out hopefully Ms. Malone will have her movie told. Maybe an Ava Duvaney or Spike Lee could produce it. The lady was a genius and self made. Facts!

[@JOHNKIRBY2077]

Self Made led us to believe Addie Monroe based off Ms. Malone failed and Madame C.J. Walker did everything for our black community. Big ups to both ladies for helping to shape our race into something better but the misleading is too drastic not to mention. 💯💯💯

Woman of excellence . Black woman of excellence .

[@katpeterson7895]

Self-Made Madame CJ Walker story painted a false narrative of this lady

[@yaafowaa4149]

I don't think so, this story typically highlights the ups and downs of madame CJ Walker and challenges she overcame before accomplished . Although her character was negatively portrayed, it was not purposely to tarnish her image but to showcase raw content( in terms of competition and revenge)of each passing stage.

[@tammie4272]

The movies reads: INSPIRED by the life of... Word mean things smh. However I am so glad to hear Annie Malones' story; she did some wonderful things!

[@OisO8]

"SELF MADE" was inspired by true events. Any piece of work that is "inspired by true events" is mostly a figment of the author's untrue imagination. It's fiction. You have to take it with a grain of salt. Especially when the soundtrack is from 2020 and the film set in the early 1900s🙄 I can't stand when they do that. 😠

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

There are certain facts that need to be explained and shown if the movie is based on a true story. You can't leave major things out.

[@OisO8]

@@Michelle-pn9xt If I make no error, in the beginning it says "inspired by" not "based on" From my experience, films that are based on true stories stick closer to the reality of the story, while "inspired" stories can go any direction the inspiration takes them. I've read whole novels that were inspired by one paragraph of a news paper clipping 😐

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

@@OisO8 Same thing. Someone needs to tell the real story.

[@OisO8]

@@Michelle-pn9xt yes!!! Agreed!! Sorry, for going on lol!! 😀

[@prissymcc]

I thought it was weird at first, but I actually came to Like the Soundtracks, lol! I think there's Nothing wrong with adding a bit of Fiction, but I do think they should be More judicious, and only fictionalize Trivial matters. They should also Write More in the Credits about the Work being Fictionalized....

[@abernard3294]

Hopefully her descendants can assist with getting all the historical info together and give her life a much needed public platform. Great story.

[@karendavis7380]

I've never heard of her. I don't have Netflix, but came upon her story on KZbin, where some was speaking about the inaccuracies in the movie about Madame CJ Walker. Blacks that have power in media, need to make sure that our history is told with as much accuracy as possible. ✊🏾

Karen Davis The Writer and Director is a black man.

[@lscott736]

Annie Malone was a great business lady. But what I took frm the movie was Annie's sales agents had to have a certain look (fair, light skinned). Even in the pictures shown in this video ..the workers making my products were darker skinned. Also we can't ignore the fact that colorism within our race is real. I can imagine it was no different then.

[@Sogal60]

I feel like live been lied to since childhood about Madame CJ walker. Annie Malone seems to the the first. Somebody needs to tell the real story about both. And Walker DID NOT invent the hot comb or perm.

[@sisyaffayahyisrael2112]

WOW, I never knew this. Learn something new everyday, just shows you how OUR history is buried.

[@allesschwarz_liebe5871]

This reminds me exactly of Claudette Colvin who was actually the first black woman to not give up her seat. NOT ROSA PARKS!!

[@johneta7665]

Black Americans have such a rich in illustrious history in the United States of America. Even though we came out of slavery we were still able to accomplish so much. This is why the government and other vanguards in the United States go to great lengths to hide our history.

[@Choxchip63]

Thank you for the information that NETFLIX left out

[@sherylfleming1761]

Man these are stories that we cannot allow to be buried. They were thriving despite their oppression and racism. This is American history and need to be told!

[@jamalwilburn228]

White people burry it to make us blacks look like victims when their were amazing blacks who went above and beyond who found success!

[@amplyfesociety2570]

I've never heard of her until Self made mini series.

[@aarisablacksmooshia8553]

I wonder why the Netflix CO. didn't do Annie M. story vs CJ W. Annie did so much more for the community, then CJ. And created her products on her own.

[@jills911]

It looks like Annie Malone created new businesses, built communities and gave her riches away throughout her career. MCJ Walker reinvested, kept profit, grew her business and made donations to a lesser extent.

[@ArghRawrWhoa]

Beautiful

[@tiffanyhall1944]

Madam told Annie that they could work together and do big things.

[@naomi7594]

Madam was a sells person for annie. And helped madam cj walker. Sadly Netflixs deplics a different story

[@actressmeganrochon2554]

Wow how fascinating

[@hurtspublishing3906]

Self made lied on Annie real bad. I been trying to tell ppl this. I knew of both of them for years. Even though I knew of madam cj walker first

[@datchess1]

Did Anne send for the secret recipe as in the movie?

[@charminballard4488]

Annie Malone chose to be on her own. Only because she thought she was better. It's sad.
