## Resource

This episode is airing right after International Women’s Day, and we couldn’t think of a better time to highlight the incredible story of Madam C.J. Walker—a woman whose name should be in every history book but somehow isn’t. After binge-watching Self Made on Netflix, Kelsey knew everybody needed to know this woman's name. We share pieces of Madam C.J. Walker’s journey from washing clothes to becoming the first self-made female millionaire in the U.S. We talk about the grit, resilience, and determination it takes to build something from nothing, the power of women supporting women, and why recognizing these stories matters. Join us for a conversation about ambition, overcoming obstacles, and the many ways women throughout history have paved the way for us today. Let’s bloom together!
