POLICYMAKER & ENTREPRENEUR: Frances Perkins & Madam CJ Walker

Amanda is fired up today! She tells the story of Frances Perkins, someone who should be a household name, but isn't. She is the first woman to be part of the U.S. Cabinet--and not just any Cabinet. She was in FDR's Cabinet and played a pivotal role in passing some of the most important legislation in American history. Rita brings us an incredibly inspiring story about the entrepreneur CJ Walker, a black woman who saw a hole in the beauty market and filled it, all the while giving back to the community.
