About the Film

This innovative film blends historical drama with contemporary storytelling, using art as a bridge between past and present. Through the eyes of a young foster girl struggling with anxiety, we witness a spirited debate between two groundbreaking entrepreneurs who revolutionized the beauty industry and paved the way for future generations of Black women in business.

"An anxious foster girl's artwork brings historical female pioneers and legends Annie Malone and Madam C.J. Walker to life, who fiercely argue over the title of the first black self-made female millionaire."

The film explores themes of legacy, historical truth, and the power of storytelling to heal and inspire. As the young artist navigates her own uncertainties, she discovers that history is not just about facts, but about the stories we choose to tell and the heroes we choose to celebrate.
