I was a longtime fan of the Oprah show and I remember watching you. It’s so wonderful to what you have accomplished.

Happy Anniversary and all the love I got for you and Patrick, words can't begin to convey what you mean to me and you remind me that it's all POSSIBLE. This is one of the best interviews with TWO (THREE) of the best people on the planet.

I have to tell you that that was one of the best interviews with Oprah that I have ever seen ever (also very special with what she had to say about people who have passed living on in us because my partner of 15 years is currently battling stage 4 cancer) I needed to hear this interview. It was healing and so helpful. I just want to thank you. It means more than you'll ever know.🙏 💜

    I’ve admired Oprah for many years since I was a teenager. However, hearing Oprah express her story and how influential her father was in her life it bewilders me that she supported Kamala Harris presidency 🤔 I don’t care what mean things ppl say about Oprah she’s living proof of Black Excellence 👍🏾 Therefore, to watch her diminish her hardworking ethic, inspirational messages, and Standing in working class America for Kamala Harris is truly disappointing 😢
    Hearing Oprah share her belief of how a person should celebrate when they’re being underestimated is sage advice 👌🏾
