- Annie Malone was a self-made millionaire. She started a cosmetics manufacturing business, focusing on Black hair products, and she began a beauty college. This famous Black St. Louisan was also a philanthropist. The St. Louis Colored Orphans Home was renamed in her honor.
Netflix " self-made " brought me here. Never heard of her before I saw the miniseries . Glad to see this upload!!
Marqueita Alladin me too! I guess one thing this social isolation will do is give us time explore our history. Learn and Grow!🙏🏽
That part
That's exactly why I'm here. I wanted to know about her. I didn't feel the miniseries gave her much credit at all.
Me too am so upset because they have to be truthful not lying about our legacy
isolabiancasGirly Talk I know what you mean. Truth is they don’t have to be truthful when it comes to “entertainment”. “We” (black people, consumers) have to be diligent in seeking the truth. Ask, Seek, Knock and it shall be opened.❤️
Both Annie Malone and Madam Walker were great women for the times...they both were examples of driven women
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"
Yesssssssssssssss
Annie Malone needs her own movie. This is amazing!
Jessica Franklin taraji p henson
yes she does. She was an amazing woman and they did everything they could to try to rob her of her wealth
Am so upset because they didn't give her credit in the movie please please we have to be more truthful when it comes to our history am tired of hearing lies
isolabiancasGirly Talk very upsetting
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.
@@kayi.4929 but at the end they made us believe she didn't achieve anything but just look at everything she did and achieve .i know the movie its not about her but if there was not annie there will not be cj walkers
What part of inspired by don't yall get it was not their true story it was inspired by meaning fake
@@kayi.4929 Yeah! That's why she went ALL OVER THE WORLD with her Schools AND PRODUCTS. EVERY WHERE THERE WERE ......BLACK PEOPLE. 😏
Netflix did a real disservice to her legacy making up some colorism drama storyline. But it did bring me to find out more about this woman. Thanks for this.
Wow, she was a real pillar in the growth and progress of the African American community! I’m so glad to be able to learn about this inspirational woman!
Soyin B. Luxe so true sister..
Fanta Graham yessssssss.I agree 💯.You better say that again for the people in the overflow..
Her success had nothing to do with her skin complexion....she was industrious, hard working and very benevolent. period.
yes it did
Yes it did
I agree Gina I feel like she did work really hard for her success.
Yes! Even donating to her competition
Her real story will be told one day
Her products were sold internationally also. No one ever talks about this. And she employed people in the West Indies, and several other countries.
Hey Gina.
How are you doing today?
The lies of Netflix series has resurrected Annie Malone. Hope her story gets told!
Sha Lawz the Netflix movie clearly says “Inspired” not “based on a true story” 🤦🏾♀️😂smh
Exactly lol it’s a different name and everything
That character name was Addie Monroe.
Agreed.
@@24pekanpie thank you! ppl are getting upset at movie thats not even autography. its inspired meaning parts will be fake and dramatize for entertainment
👍Wow! 🤔Why don’t they teach about her in the school history classes & books. 💞
You know exactly why they don't
thank democrats for that they want yall to always be victims and your not. Black people have always and will always be essential to this country
Because she Black !
Just because Annie M made money don't make her God
@@lakersin556 Just cause Annie M made money don't make her God
Can you imagine all these black millionaire and we yet to do half of what one woman did in her life time. Goes to show you why it’s important for blacks to buy from people who will reinvest in their communities. Not some random multinational multi billionaire tax dodge company.
Also, what
We can Conceive,
We can Achieve.
Just Knowing about the Many Early Black
NON-Entertainment Millionaires could have inspired Many Blacks to achieve Much More....
MrMiamiswaggz305 Also shows you what integration did to us! We were better off separate but equal, we should of left it that way!
MrMiamiswaggz305 wanting to be at the white mans table is what got us here! We would be better off if we never tried to work things out with whites! We gave love to ppl that hated us and still do!
It was bc of SEGREGATION, we would all be millionaires if it wasn't for desegregation!
MrMiamiswaggz305 so important!
So her story got lost under Madam CJ Walker. And they way that she was depicted in the movie was false and slanderous. Unbelievable!
It was a movie...
Very disrespectful
Apparently the "Self -Made" movie was altered "for entertainment purposes". We have to research before or after the movie people.
Why is it hard for you to believe that a lighter skinned woman would not want to do business with a dark skin woman during that time ? Or shoot even now be honest with yourself Colorism is still alive today . The movie doesn’t take away from her character because to me the movie wasn’t about her . Everyone will have their own experience.
@@Capricorncutie31 THANK YOU!
It is a historical crime that people incorrectly believe that Madam CJ Walker created the hair care industry for black women. Im so damp sick of people lying and being deceptive....GIVE THIS WOMAN HER CREDIT!!
I too agree.in the state where i grew up Annie is not mentioned in black history nor the fact Madam Walker learned her trade in Annie's school.it has led to a misconception of Madam Walker's entrepreneurial abilities.
I was taught she (walker) created a straighten comb... this is the first time I have ever heard about this woman
I agree with you 💯 % Netflix didn't do thier research very well.
Nope! She was spokes person of lightskin girls who think they’re better
Totally agree!! She was wealthiest woman in America at that time.
I’ve just watched #SelfMade on Netflix. I can’t believe that they haven’t made a movie about Annie Malone yet. *SHE DESERVES IT!*
Just because Annie M made money don't make her God
They just now made this one about Madame CJ Walker.
This present society will not give you anything, if you want it you have to learn it and do it yourself🍃
HEKYMA crazy thing is, the movie was lies on both legacies . She never stole her product. The base of both products were used in all products out in that time. They depicted both of the ladies horribly.
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 don’t care what other racial groups have to say about my race, I know that we are amazing, intelligent, and one day we will find that light in us again.✊🏽🖖🏾
Yes we will
I feel the same way, I don't care what other racial groups think about me or my ethnic group
Amen!!!!!!!!
I hate that they tried to make it seem like she was biracial and made the series a light skin dark skin theme. Just tell the true story.
Orel agreed.. demonising the so called “high yellow” making out Annie to be a colour obsessed antagonist. Now we continue to divide our community, are we any better than the enemy. Betrayal at its lowest😢
Ciara Noir both her parents were slaves.
Right
They cant help it
This what they feed us... to keep us divided...
The Netflix movie "Self Made" brought me here. Really disappointed that they didn't celebrate both women, instead of pitting them against one another, through business and colorism. We must do better!
....it wasn't just about hair, it was about community and employment.
S. Fisher all black own businesses back then was about community and empowerment, not so much now.
I’m so glad this came across my feed & I’m from St.Louis & was in the Annie Malone parade twice as a lil girl but have never heard the history of her. It’s good to know about Black people who once made a good contribution in my city #314standup
I wonder if im related to Mildred Boyd. And im From St Louis as well! Born and Raised!😍🙌👌
So many questions. Why cant we own our own beauty supply stores now? Why is entertainment over truth when it comes to our history? Why does our history fade over time? Why we don't know names like Annie Malone, Claudette Colvin, Black Wall Street etc.
Dalanna Hoskins it is purposely hidden from us. Also, white Americans are intimidated by
Black financial prosperity and success. As a result the banking systems have completely shut out black Americans from receiving finances for their dreams. Its called redlining, correct? Hopefully in the times that face this nation black Americans can do some introspection in order to stop being in denial about the true nature of our open enemy- white america
@@johneta7665 I agree 110%
God bless you for telling us about Claudette Colvin. I googled her and I also came across another name: Mary Louise Smith. Thank God.
Let's put our own monies together so we can tell our OWN TRUE stories!! Just a shame that at 42 I never knew who this woman was until seeing the Netflix series of what I knew was filled with half truths & some downright lies but was interesting to say the least. Nonetheless our history is in books & there's a reason why the evil ppl of the world have always said "if you don't want a black person to know something, put it in a book"!
Hey Charx.
How are you doing today?
Thank you for posting this video about Annie Malone. It was very informative and educational 🙏🏾
This story is just so amazing and thought provoking...yet it leaves you feeling sad and empty..because we were robbed of our history...just a few bits and pieces..never the true story...crumbs..who will have the guts too stand up and truthfully rewrite our history books for the next generation ?!
It’s disgusting how Netflix portrayed her.
BlkQueenK not Netflix but the writers and producers, which are black
@BlkQueenK your exactly right. I dislike the part in the movie, depicting both of the women fighting in the box ring. That was very distasteful.
Yes because I didn’t like her at all
@@sunshinesunflowerz1647 The piece of Trash who was behind HARRIET did the movie
They really need to apologize, they were truly disrespectful to her name and Legacy. These black writers need to do better by not selling out.
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. I wish could get some of the hair products now. BLESSINGS
Sephora has madam cj walker products
I really tried to read what you commented...but it makes no sense honestly.
@@trinnasultrabeautybraids9157 has it been tampered with?
@@marciamarcia7449 she was my godmother and I would tell her how i wish my hair was more like hers the product was the hair growth and press i laughed be cause she had what we call to day good hair no perm she lived in New York and Chicago moved to Florida and the early sixties her husband was a very well known golfer one of the few black golfers that was allowed to golf at historic Biltmore.
@@trinnasultrabeautybraids9157 I tried to order from and local suppliers found I on line call them and they no longer carrying it. Always said that they should have put some into market five-and-ten cent store just as Royal Crown Suffer 8 Valsaline still around perhaps product would be easy to get today at CVS Walgreens or Walmart 😁
Never heard of her before “Self Made” which unfortunately did her dirty. Would love to see a movie about her remarkable life.
I knew of Ms. Malone's story. That's one of the reasons I wanted to see the movie. IMO, Hollywood ruined it. Could have been so much better. I'll continue reading the books on these amazing women.
There's room for more than one Black Female millionaire entrepreneur 🤔... She is a very important part of History...💇🏽♀️ Much respect to her 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Grew up in St. Louis and never really knew much about her background yet I’ve always heard her name and loved going to the Mayday Parade a.k.a. the Annie Malone parade this was great to see glad I watched it
I’m so glad to see the documentary of Annie Malone. I studied about her many years ago. As a cosmetologist and a member of the National Beauty Culturtist League we have studied about Madam C.J. Walker and Annie Malone they were two powerful women! We never was taught about the rivalry between these trailblazers. Netflix ought to be ashamed of themselves! I do believe that Annie Malone’s story needs to be told accurately. Madame CJ Walker’s family and NBCL made sure that her story was documented. She passed away in 1919.
I have not seen the Netflix special that folks are referencing, but I am glad this came up in my feed!! I am next in line to generate millions for my generation and generations to come!!! Glad to see the story of Ms Annie Malone who "literally" helped to pave the way!!! God Bless Her!
Its crazy how so many ppl have never heard of Annie Malone i learned about her in like 5th grade wasnt alot of detail then i learned more when i ended up in her orphanage they closed Annie Malone childrens home years ago when they rebuilt homer G phillips hospital they turned that hospital into senior apts and im not sure what the home is now
I love how was a real business woman,kind Heart.Rip beautiful lady.
Finally Ms. Malone is going to get her props. Long overdue.
Great Story, Great Lady, Great Legacy.
They portrayed her real bogus. Netflix should be ashamed and sued
Netflix does Not need to be sued. They said BASED on true events. This was Not a biography lol who NEED to be sued is the Black School System. I went to 3 different all black schools and every single February its the "Dream" Speech , Rosa Park, Malcolm X and Harriet Tubman. Every single year
@Fanta Graham well YES THEY CAN. JUST LIKE I CAN WRITE A BOOK RIGHT NOW ABOUT THIS COMMENT SECTION AND CHANGE YOUR NAME AND YOUR COMMENT ALL TOGETHER. THE KEY INGREDIENT TO *FICTION. POWER OF NARRATIVE
@Fanta Graham i don't care to change anyone opinion or mind. If you want to take my ficion as a fact and not do your own research thats your fault. Netflix dont need to be sued for fiction. I know several people who never heard of Annie Malone thanks to the fictional movie people finding out the truth. Sucks that people like you took a fictional film Literally. *dont believe what ANYBODY says. Do yo Research. Period
@@justtim5078 There is no such thing as the black school system. It is all white curriculum.
@@justtim5078they took all the real out, and filled it with creative junk. It's not real, and they used Madam CJ Walkers likeness for a sham. If you're going to make a movie or series about a historical figure, tell it right!
She had a branch in Atlanta, Georgia. I saw it. It was a nice brick building. I later learned Madame C J Walker imitated Annie Malone. I visited her building in Indiana. I admire both of these pioneering women. Thanks for keeping her story.
RuralMoney.com They were considered business partners rather than competitors as the white media would have us to believe
@@EmpressSouL444Hi! That's interesting because everything they accomplished was similar. I had the good fortune to visit MCJW's museum. Both were phenomenal business women.
Maybe Netflix needs to do Annie Malone’s story.
I’m not surprised they would hide Annie Malone’s story.She did so much for the black community.To expose this fact would be a threat,possibly bringing the black community together bc unity brings power..
Madam CJ Walker didn’t do half as much as Annie Malone did for the betterment of the black communities..
Can you prove what Madam CJ Walker did or didn't do?
Wendell McClore it’s called research..Reading is fundamental..
@@tiyahisrael Perhaps you didn't understand the question. How about you focus on their accomplishments than trying to belittle and compare what Madam CJ Walker did. I believe half of what she and Annie Malone did is not even recorded because of racist jealous people. Have a good day.
Wendell McClore Again reading is fundamental..what are you talking about?this is RUclips comment section.If you have a problem with another person assertion about the facts,you may want to exit You tube comment section..Who do think you are to tell anyone what they should and shouldn’t say on you tube comment section in a world of free speech..The nerve😂🤣😂🤣Goodnight sir..Get a life
I hate the way they portrayed her in that Netflix movie. Her estate should file a lawsuit!!!!!
Sharon Warfield 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🔪🔪
I am so happy they are finally getting her story out to the world people should know who was the first black female millionaire and her contribution to the black community thank you so much for sharing this story hopefully we will start seeing her in the black history books
What a Lady. Proud to know that people cared about others by making an impact in the Black community. Mrs. Malone paid it forward back in the day. A true QUEEN👏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽👸🏽❤️
Amazing. Being born and raised in STL. I’m amazed at how little I knew about her besides the children’s home and our annual May Day Parade/Annie Malone Parade
Sad how she is being betrayed in the Netflix mini series
You know what, I only got to know about this woman through Self Made on Netflix, and honestly... I thought what an awful woman she was. But on the other hand, I thought there are 2 sides to every story, and I didnt get to hear hers... so here goes!
She couldn't of been that bad, she made products to women and it seems M CJW actually stole the formula anyway... not going to take sides though. I appreciate them both for playing such a crucial role in history x
Sad but True I had to do my own research they did that bad stuff for her to push a narrative.
Quietly, I was disappointed in the series because it made both of them look horrible. MCJW was one of my favorites to do reports on and I learn bout Annie in the mist. I didn't read half of what was shown in that series.
Wish they woulda preserved her building as a historical landmark. The Madam CJ Walker in Indianapolis still stands and is used. Maybe in part this is why Madam is known more. I've never understood how it happened.
Amazing Woman, Annie Malone was. Her legacy is not lost, thankfully.🕊❤️
Hey Kim.
How are you doing today?
Amazing amazing... I grew up in St. Louis and throughout the years I knew of Annie Malone but I didn't know the full backstory about her. A phenomenal woman.
They didn’t add that Madam CJ Walker was one of Annie’s selling agents.
Yes they did
@Rochel Jones Sorry you right, I mixed that up with what I read up on it I apologize that is how they made it seem💜🌞🦋
Let's please remember, the Netflix movie was "inspired by" a lot of that wasn't true.
Hmmm it doesn’t matter if she was or wasn’t . The mentee should always out shine or be equal to the mentor if it’s down right .
OR that addie WASNT mixed so WHY they made this "light vs dark" is beyond me
Wow! I never knew this courageous black woman did so much. Thank you to everyone who put this together.
I hope we get the Annie Malone movie. I saw SELF MADE. I glad that bringing black stories to media. I would say it's a start.
This lady was born in the 1800's and she accomplished a lot of things. She was Black. She was an orphan. Yet, she persevered thru hard times. Langston's poem Mother to Son says: "Life for me ain't been no Crystal... don't sit down cause you find it's kind of hard. For I'm still climbing and I'm still going and Life for me ain't been no crystal stair. I need to step up my game
Thank you for this video of a wonderful human being and gifted person. Thank you for posting this video for all to see another great woman!
I heard of Ms. Annie Malone. She was a pioneer in the beauty products and also she was an activist in for the improvement in education and a strong force of building economic wealth of black americans among the black community. Her name should not be ever be forgotten. She leaves with us not only a legacy of rich history but with a vision to continue the fight for a better and brighter future. ✨️ ❤ 😊
15:15 If you are a hair stylist you know that what we do taps into a plethora of different things. We are often looked down upon because of our chosen career. It's the most unsettling feeling. It's hard to prove that what we do is NOT just about doing hair. Especially, when "some" students enroll because they don't think highly enough of themselves and think that it's easy; thinking that they are going to attend a beauty college and graduate by playing with "baby dolls" all day. No... before you even touch a manikin you will need geometry, chemistry, electricity, infection control and anatomy & physiology.
Not bashing the black queen,but now I wonder why has history given Madame CJ Walker so much light? Seems to me that Annie Malone paved the way for black hair care products.
Wow she remind of my aunty they really favor alot but amazing history thank you
It's amazing how she as a black woman could achieve that much financial gain to build a college, a factory, and be be able to licensenure other women in a deprived society for blacks when today most of us always holla broke for just necessities for life.
I take my hat off and bow to her. A boss of a woman. But these mixed messages about her and Madam C. J. needs to be fixed. I applaud them both. Truth be told Madame C.J. was an idle for me and I hadn't even heard of Annie. It's like she was a hidden figure. Her story needs to be in the black history books as well. Thanks for paving the way.
Hey friend.
How are you doing today?
Incredible, incredible woman!! Thank you for sharing!
Extraordinary part of history that must be preserved and highlighted more for public knowledge.
Self-Made Madame CJ Walker story painted a false narrative of this lady
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.
His-Story...I wouldn't let the Fact people are more familiar w Madam CJ Walker dampen anyone from sharing and promoting Ms Annie Malone's Contribution to Black History...there is enough room in our History for both women...and we shouldn't forget, His-Story is dominated by the people that own the media...now we have access to Social Media, so why not put the effort into promote Annie's Story so more Black People are aware of the Powerful Black Woman Entrepreneurs! 👊🏼...we must stop treating it like there is a Competition and letting us be pitted against one another! Love her Story & Madam's Story also...I'm sure there are plenty of puffery in most historical accounts, we can debate the truth til we are blue in the face...or we can learn from their example and build empires!
Amazing story amazing Woman is like to see a.movie made about her life.
They would just CHANGE THE NARRATIVE, LIKE they've been doing.
Her story definitely needs to get told
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. 💯💯💯
Why don’t people understand that the Selfmade movie was simply a movie and not a documentary that’s getting on my last nerves
We get it! However, just because it's "simply a movie" does mean it gets a pass to desecrate the legacy of Black American Royalty!
What's CBG? there is no desecration happening it’s fictional it’s meant to be a drama not a documentary.
@@tiaw3423 why use historical figures or moments in history if you're not gonna tell the story accurately? That has never made sense to me.
LittleGothGirl my guess would be that it’s meant to get people more interested in these people and their lives, I’m not a producer or director so I wouldn’t know my point was that the series was never advertised as a documentary
More fantastic news for.Black history.thank you
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story ! ✊🏽
Hey Sabrina.
How are you doing today?
Well well well ..... thanks for the Video!
Such a great story. I had never heard of Annie Malone.
Well, I like others who are not from St. Louis had never heard of Annie Malone, got here because of the movie. THERE ARE MANY UNTOLD HIDDEN GEMS IN BLACK HISTORY. THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION!
Wow,never was taught this ,only the story of Madam C.J.Walker.I want to learn more about this very influential and successful woman.
"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. 😠
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.
@@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 😐
@@OisO8 Same thing. Someone needs to tell the real story.
@@Michelle-pn9xt yes!!! Agreed!! Sorry, for going on lol!! 😀
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....
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!
Why did they tear it down? She is the world of black pedigree and resilience
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.
Mrs. Malone lived to be 87-years old; she lived long and prospered. Madame Walker was also prosperous but passed away at the age of 51. Walker was on a mission, but Malone did just as much good. The Netflix series "Self Made" depiction is terribly unfair (& untrue) to her legacy. Disappointing, but at least we are now also learning about this great lady.
Woman of excellence . Black woman of excellence .
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!
I’m glad someone is finally putting the truth out about who was the one of the first person to started the hair care business and first Black Female Millionaire not Madam CJ Walker please read the book about how she started the business and put Ms Walker on
Madam told Annie that they could work together and do big things.
Madam was a sells person for annie. And helped madam cj walker. Sadly Netflixs deplics a different story
Listen to Black Fortunes on Audible.
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.
Thank you.
GR8 work!
So in the Movie is “Addie Munroe” supposed to be Annie Malone?
Yep
Shamefully, yes. They didn't need to mention her at all if they were gonna slander her.
@Nikita Watkins Yeah. That is sad. I hope someone creates a better movie that tells the real story!
They call it creative liberty. They unfortunately do it to make it more interesting. I'd rather have the truth.
They also light washed her. She wasn’t biracial nor light skinned.
This reminds me exactly of Claudette Colvin who was actually the first black woman to not give up her seat. NOT ROSA PARKS!!
Thank you for the information that NETFLIX left out
Like Madam said, "I stole your formula, but I made it BETTER!"
Tiffany Hall A thief is a thief. Just because she stole it doesn’t mean it’s going to have the same anointing on it.
That was probably ALL fabricated...you cant quote anything in that movie specifically anything that was said as fact.
That wasn't real tho
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.
Hopefully her descendants can assist with getting all the historical info together and give her life a much needed public platform. Great story.
To be clear: The Netflix movie didnt name Annie Malone or slander her legacy.
If they did not Name her, that IS an insult to her legacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One could say Mary Kay got idea from these two women Same concepts BBB beauty business billionaire.
I've never heard of her. I don't have Netflix, but came upon her story on RUclips, 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.
I've never heard of her until Self made mini series.
WOW, I never knew this. Learn something new everyday, just shows you how OUR history is buried.
There was a large corner building in the last minute of the vid that has been taught,thru black history month,as being the Madame C.J.Walker building.hmmmm.and,Annie Malone was never apart of black history month info in my state.i only mention this because,in the beginning of this vid, she,Annie Malone,the was said to have been included in the month of history.hmmm. Walker is also noted as the first self-made female millionaire.i now wonder if that is true.hmmm
Madame C J Walker worked for Miss Annie Malone
@@lavernrevels4032 true,it was mentioned in the vid.yet,it is not mention as black history in the state i grew up in.this vid is brigdeing a gap which most are unaware of.
Not mine either, we only learned about Madam CJ Walker
Never heard of her, Heard Of Madam CJ Walker.
Now I know.
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.
Annie Malone chose to be on her own. Only because she thought she was better. It's sad.
