because you are one of my favorite actors

that I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

-Oh, my God. Thank you. -Genuinely you are.

And, uh, I'm excited to see you in telling this story, as well,

because you're telling the tale of an amazing black woman

...to create an empire that no one thought was possible--

Tell me about the story and why you chose to create it.

Well, Madam C.J., uh, was a standard bearer in my home.

My mom used her as an example, uh, for me and my siblings,

because we were from very humble beginnings.

And she didn't have the right to vote or really own property.

She became Madam C.J. Walker through marriage.

uh, became one of the most powerful women of her time.

It really is fascinating when you watch the story because,

essentially, she made the Fenty Beauty of her time.

Because here she was as a black woman who realized

that black women weren't being catered to at all.

is still a story today in beauty and in products and in care.

And she said, "I'm gonna make something for my people,

and I'm gonna put my face on it," which was a big deal.

-Yeah. -You show that in the story, where people were like,

"Oh, you see, Madam C.J. Walker, you can't just..."

Why do you think it was so important for her

to put her face on that product when so many said,

Because someone said, "That face won't sell a product."

-Mm. -You know, I guess if-if she, uh, did... was...

created the Fenty of her time, does that make me Rihanna?

But in all seriousness, um, I think she-she put her face

on the product because someone said that she wasn't beautiful.

she wanted to be beautiful in her husband's eyes.

It really is an amazing story of this woman who has an idea,

you showing us a human being who creates this empire.

And people have had to estimate her net worth,

-because at the time, there was no Forbes. -Right.

she had a net worth of ten million dollars.

-Ten million dollars, yeah. -Which is a lot of money,

I mean, it's a lot of money now. A ton of money back then.

-Yeah. -When you look at her story, I-I would honestly

be hard-pressed to not think of how many parallels

you share with her in real life, because, you know,

you've been outspoken about the journey many black people,

-black women, specifically, face in Hollywood. -Mm-hmm. Yeah.

You know, the-the challenges of not just having work,

-but having control of your work, creating work. -Right.

I believe you're creating, what, ten projects as we speak?

What-what has that... what has that journey been like?

you-you touched on something really important to me,

because so many people have asked me, uh,

"What is the role that you feel you're destined to play?"

because not only am I creating opportunities for myself,

but for so many other people who've been marginalized,

whose voices haven't been heard, whose stories haven't been told.

-Right. -And, um, we just had such synergy,

um, uh, with the-the diversity, uh, of women

And-and I feel very grateful that I got to be a part of it.

I know that LeBron James is also one of the...

-Is he one of the producers on the show? -Yes, yes.

Uh, SpringHill Entertainment, uh, Maverick,

everybody over there-- um, they've just... LeBron.

They've been amazing, uh, to partner with.

uh, we had reached an impasse with the studio.
