In this episode, award-winning journalist and historian A'Lelia Bundles discusses her new biography, Joy Goddess: A'Lelia Walker and the Harlem Renaissance. Bundles, the great-granddaughter of A'Lelia Walker and great-great-granddaughter of Madam C.J. Walker, shares what inspired her decades-long fascination with A'Lelia's life — an iconic figure of the Harlem Renaissance known for her legendary parties and cultural impact. She also reflects on Indianapolis, her career in network television and why storytelling still matters.

Rags-to-riches entrepreneur Madam C.J. Walker and her daughter, A'Lelia Walker, built one of the most successful African American hair care businesses in American history. But it was only after A'Lelia broke free of her mother's singular vision that she found her calling in 1920s Harlem. That search for independence and purpose is at the center of A'Lelia Bundles' new book, “Joy Goddess: A'Lelia Walker and the Harlem Renaissance.” It's our May selection for Bookmarked: the “Under the Radar” book club.
