Author and journalist A’Lelia Bundles is the author of "On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C.J. Walker" – a New York Times Notable Book about her entrepreneurial great-great-grandmother – that is the inspiration for Self Made, the fictional four-part Netflix series starring Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer that premiered in March 2020. She is at work on her fifth book, "The Joy Goddess of Harlem: A’Lelia Walker and the Harlem Renaissance," a biography of her great-grandmother, whose parties, arts patronage and international travels helped define that era.

Bundles was a network television news executive and producer for thirty years at NBC News and then at ABC News, where she was Washington, DC deputy bureau chief and director of talent development.

Her articles and essays have been published in the New York Times Book Review, Variety, TheUndefeated.com, Al Jazeera, Parade, Ms., O Magazine, Essence, several encyclopedias and books, and on her blog at www.aleliabundles.com.
