The series will be based off the book “On Her Own Ground,” by A’Lelia Bundles. The Madam CJ Walker series is definitely a striking moment for Netflix’s new “Strong Black Lead” movement. The first episode will be directed and executive produced by another strong black woman, Kasi Lemmons, who is a well established actress, directer, and producer. Showrunners are Janine Sherman Barois and Elle Johnson. This was just announced at the Television Critics Association press tour.
