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!!!💋💋💋💘💘

WoW This brought tears to my eyes , I was wondering when will I hear about these girls I so happy.

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.

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 ❤❤❤

We thank you Oprah Winfrey for making quality education for the black child possible.

Such loving energy between these girls, it's nice to see.

Don't cry, don't cry, hold it together, don't... ahh crap. This is so inspiring

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.

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.

I love Mom O for being a beacon of love and support for so many! God bless you Mom O!

Thank you for sharing. WOW.....This is so beautiful God bless you Oprah.

Oprah is truly that light in many dark tunnels. Using her blessings to be a blessing

love this! Educating women❤

education is key to life..this is so inspiring..thank you oprah

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!

A very good new start for these girls, I wish for every one of them to continue and speed the prosperity of their new life's richness wherever they roam. Oprah, well done, do more schools in SA! Do more for the graduate's of the schools to do more I believe this is the absolute purpose of your life Oprah. TY.

Oprah Winfrey has the social skills to become a confident and its the reason why she makes good interviews.

Absolutely fantastic and beautiful what Oprah continues to do for our people as well as others

Congrats O Girls and Thank You Oprah Winfrey and Staff/students and our school give thanks to you all as well Owinfreyschoolsuganda .

I am literally speechless. I can’t find the words to express the greatness and magnitude of this. My gracious.

Oprah is a great human being

Crying...Bongeka is truly a beaut. Oprah, bless you

This is inspiring...love you Oprah

😭😭This is Beautiful 😭😭

I just love, love, *LOVE* Oprah Winfrey❣

I liked the video early ahead and then tried liking again.

What a great gift to this world

Yaaaas Mam-o! ❤️

When she said I would've probably taken my own life, my heart dropped. Yes, women everywhere should be in control of their own destiny.

I have been trying to find the entire documentary update about the first girls in the academy. The update I have found only on fusion, but it is not a channel I get and I have not found it online. Can anyone tell me how I can watch the entire update?

I'm so proud of her. Thank you God for using Oprah to do your mighty work.

love the fushions correspondents hair !

This was actually moving to me. Pretty cool

Beautiful girls with beautiful hearts, beautiful minds and beautiful future!!!

I love oprah.

Oprah is my inspiration 🙏🏽

Oprah is a world wonder. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I really 😢 want to go and learn to Ophrah Winfrey, because I've seen her school that it's the best one ever

Well Done...Youngster. Our Almighty and many a Women are Proud of You....

I watched everyone of Oprah's shows. Also recored them and got my husband and children to watch. Age appropriate, of course, for my children. So many things rear their ugly heads now! I just say to myself... Oprah discussed these 30 years ago. I will never forget the little boy who appeared on the show. They were both sitting down at the time. He turned to her and said... I love you. Its was the most beautiful thing i ever saw. However, at the same time, i though to myself, wish i could say this to you. She was my everything then. So disappointing when she left tv.

Wonderful this is why Africa needs to rise up economically so as to fix such social ills otherwise God Bless Miss Oprah

this was realy moveing and all could say is oprah has a manchen in heaven she is a blessing wow

Oprah you are a great teacher for women' all over the world

PSA: Excellent news! 🇺🇸❤️💕😃🙂 Thank you so much King James. God bless you always. ❤️💕You love and care about our children, and you opened this school where you were raised, and in the 🇺🇸 USA.

No one does it like oprah. Irreplaceable woman who shot for the stars and brings everyone else with her. And yes I'm a man, lol

Hi Oprah my grandmother used to like you then she named me Oprah

Whats the REAL meaning of O ?

What have you all got to sa about Oprah Winfrey Now?

What about America's black girls who need someone to show them this kind of Love? Build a school here

Comment ça va lekipe

Looking much older. She talks poetry. Sounds trained

I'm sitting here in South Africa listening to these girls speak of my country like it's Afghanistan. Really my guy? Is it really that bad here or have I lost touch?

Tight schedule and one season promote

I think it's not well thought out and actually cruel to give the girls education, show them good life and then take it away and put their well educated self in the same environment and poverty. What was the point then?

But Oprah never speaks about that one white employee does she.

Oprah. Doesn't "save" noone.

okay where are the educated smart young men who qualify as potential partner 4 life? Those need husbands who gonna be fathering their babies? I think I seen this movie before this looking like another repeat!!!!

it would have been so great had Oprah chosen to help the people of color (those girls 'like Oprah') here in the United States. not that what Oprah did was less, it just could have meant so very much to all those American girls do as well as those from Oprah's African school project. missed your chance Oprah, to be an American heroine for American girls.

And meanwhile, farmers are being butchered and not a peep from "O."

ABC "We Love Obama" News...

troy, I am not disputing that Oprah should have kept her promise to Mr. Mandela. My point is that it was so easy to do what Oprah did for the South African girls, but left the American black girl without Oprah help. why you might ask?...I ask as well. difficult children, poverty, lack and Oprah proved the easy way got Oprah what Oprah needed. Oprah could, in all truth DO for American girls what Oprah did for those very deserving and beautiful young women in South Africa. And do it today! but those American girls are difficult, bratty, hungry, lonely, left out, left behind and live in a very hard cold world, when one of the most successful black women decided to help somebody else, because it WAS EASIER. It's a good thing Oprah didn't have any children, who knows what she would have done? so much money, but Oprah couldn't stand the grit of the American black girl experience. They weren't grateful enough I guess!

Witch sellout

Oprah is full of crap!
