  • And to think that there's millions of people in the world who don't take the time to research all of the amazing things that Oprah has done for hundreds and thousands of lives she has touched and impacted. instead they criticize her and hate on her, meanwhile they're sitting at home eating and watching tv doing nothing to change the world. I LOVE OPRAH WINFREY " I have never met her but wow has this woman changed my life..I love her and may God continue to bless her ❤❤❤

    no one will see this but if you do Have an AWESOME day!!
  • I remember watching the episode where they were selecting the first set of girls to attend. I cried so hard then, and I cried again when I saw her post a photo of some of them now graduating college. She has changed these girls' lives forever. More power to Oprah and all these young ladies. I hope they all manage to be beacons in their respective communities and help others along the way.
  • The Great Oprah Winfrey As a 35 year old single mother of 4 with my oldest 2 being girls, one going to the fashion college of her choice ant the other an 8the grade honor student going into high school. I came to tears looking at this video. I only imagined the opportunities I gave up when I became pregnant with my daughter at 16. Now she is on her way to college in the fall with her purity and mindset in tack. I always used examples like u to show her that she can accomplish what she needs in life. I as a working single mom haven't had the opportunity to be the example that I have wanted to be financially but I provide for my 4 without child support and government assistance. And because of this and her pretty much growing up with me. She has seen my story first hand and understands the value of hard work. I'm so proud of my babies. And thank you for being a part of that inspiration. J may not be able to provide it all but u have inspired me as a mom to push education that I didnt take advantage of to my children. I wish there was a place that u could trust to send your kids to in the states that offered this type of motivational support and life training and sisterhood to our young ladies. We may have opportunities but none like what u have going on. I am going back to school myself for journalism. I still have my goals and dreams to go after and now that I have one going and 3 left to go. I started asking myself why am I so angry all the time? I realize that the one thing I wasn't doing even though I was providing for my kids which should ultimately make me happy was going after my own dreams. So I have started working towards that. I say all this to say thank you Oprah, thank you so much for inspiring the women in my household and we love u!!!💋💋💋💘💘

  • Oprah, thanks for helping these African girls. You have given hope where there was only darkness. They can be an inspiration to others in their homeland. God's continued blessings to you.

    Oprah Winfrey has the social skills to become a confident and its the reason why she makes good interviews.
  • My heart is filled with so much joy and pride. We need more people like Mama Oprah. I think I’m watching this clip for the 100th time and I’m just amazed each time.

    thank you abc for sharing this with your viewers! i'm proud as an african that oprah has educated so many african girls. and to those of you who say why she doesn't do it here in the united states, she does! look up the "sons of oprah" at moorehouse college. she is the largest donor at the college, and has given over 10 million since late 1980s. oprah knows in the united states it is the black boys who are most at risk (from miseducation, from the police, from the prison system, etc), and she knows in africa it is the girls who are most at risk. so, thank you sweet orpah for being an inspiring soul!
  • I love Mom O for being a beacon of love and support for so many! God bless you Mom O!
  • @jkstubbington
