    A’lelia Bundles on Legacy, Leadership, and Growing Bolder at 70

    A’lelia Bundles on Legacy, Leadership, and Growing Bolder at 70

    Today, Debbie Weil talks to A’Lelia Bundles: her college classmate and friend of almost 50 years. 

    A’Lelia, or LeLe, as her friends call her, is an award-winning journalist, author, historian, biographer, speaker and nonprofit leader. She speaks at conferences, colleges, and corporations about entrepreneurship, philanthropy, historic preservation, financial literacy and women’s and African American history. She calls herself a truth seeker. She's also distinguished by her warm and humorous style. It's infectious, as you'll hear.

    She and Debbie are both members of the Harvard/Radcliffe class of 1974. (Another notable member of their class is Merrick Garland,  United States Attorney General.)

    A'lelia is the great-great granddaughter of Madam C.J. Walker, the 19th century hair-care entrepreneur, activist, and philanthropist, and the first black woman millionaire in America. 

    She is the author of On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C.J. Walker, a New York Times Notable Book and the definitive biography of her trailblazing great-great grandmother. Self Made, the fictional Netflix series starring Octavia Spencer, is "inspired by" (although not factually based upon) her biography. A'lelia is at work on her fifth book, The Joy Goddess of Harlem: A’Lelia Walker and the Harlem Renaissance, about her great-grandmother whose parties, arts patronage and travels helped define the era. 

    A former network television news executive and producer at ABC News and NBC News, she is a vice chair emerita of Columbia University’s Board of Trustees and chair emerita of the board of the National Archives Foundation. She is the founder of the Madam Walker Family Archives, the largest private collection of Walker documents, photographs and memorabilia.

    Debbie and A’Lelia talk about not retiring, the pain of writing a book, and the importance of community and friends - especially the women in their college class. They discuss the legacy she wants to leave behind as a black woman and what she is looking forward to as she turns 70.

    Living the dream of a King

    Living the dream of a King
    Martin Luther King had a dream. He believed in and fought for a world where all people were seen as equals and were given the same opportunities for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, regardless of the color of their skin, their ethnicity, their sex, their religion, or national origin. He believed in a free people and a world that allowed them to excel. So, where are we today in this quest for freedom and our ability to excel? Do you have a dream of a life well lived? How are you making your dream a reality? We’ll discuss how far we have progressed, the legacy of one very successful business woman and her legacy; and a look at how others are fulfilling and living the dream.
