The Made In Indy podcast welcomes author, journalist, and great great granddaughter of Madame C.J. Walker, A’Lelia Bundles.
A’Lelia explains the origins of the iconic Madame Walker Theater in Indianapolis, and how it serves its community past & present. She gives insight on what inspired Madame Walker to create her empire, and the many challenges she encountered that forced her to grow and expand.
A’Lelia breaks down the importance of community, and how change begins from within. She shares her advice on how important the trait of persistence is to anyone that is following their dreams. Later, we chat about her upcoming book, “The Joy Goddess of Harlem: A’Lelia Walker and the Harlem Renaissance,” and what inspired the project.
