This was a 4-part miniseries about Madam C. J. Walker, the first black female millionaire, a poor woman in the early twentieth century who built a huge and enduring hair product empire and personal fortune, focused on the cosmetic needs and desires of black women.
Needless to say, it didn't all go smoothly, and she had to overcome constant prejudice and obstacles as both a woman and an African-American, but she had an indomitable will to succeed, which comes through well in this series. Starring Octavia Spencer as Madam C. J. Walker. Recommended.
