Are there too many streaming services? Too much content fighting for our attention? Perhaps. But if a ton of supply means there's more room at the table for stories like Self Made: Inspired By the Life of Madam C.J. Walker to be told on widely watched platforms like Netflix, we're all the better for it. The story of Walker is beyond inspiring, beyond thrilling, and beyond necessary for all of us to know about.

Spencer, who also produced the series (alongside LeBron James!), stars as …
