Oprah Winfrey’s powerful speech at Variety’s event, details inside
Oprah Winfrey has recently shared an inspiring life lesson she took away from her own talk show during Variety’s Power of Women dinner on Wednesday.
“We are all looking for the same thing,” said the former host of popular daytime show reported via outlet.
She continued, “This is the one lesson I came away from doing The Oprah Winfrey Show. The common denominator of our experiences is that we all want to know that we matter and we want a show that reflects our values.”
During her speech, the television star reminisced her conversation with late writer Maya Angelou about how “she should have been there for the opening” of Oprah’s school which she claimed it to be her “greatest legacy”.
Maya stated, “You have no idea what your legacy is going to be.’ I said, ‘Oh no, I think it’s really gonna be those girls.’ And she said, ‘I said, ‘You have no idea what your legacy is going to be because your legacy is never one thing.”
“Your legacy is every life you touch,’” added the amazing writer.
