Oprah says he was strict, but she was in the mood to be disobedient during her teenage years. After working her way through college, she became interested in journalism and media and got her first job as a news anchor for a local TV station. Her emotional style did not go down well for a news programme, so she was transferred to an ailing daytime chat programme.

And as I became more spiritually conscious, I learned that we all are responsible for ourselves, that you create your own reality by the way you think and therefore act. You cannot blame apartheid, your parents, your circumstances, because you are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything.â â O Magazine (January 2007), pages 160 & 217 Oprah Wealth Her range of media enterprises have made Oprah one of the richest self-made women.

Oprah Winfrey has been critical of the presidency of Donald Trump and on various occasions has hinted she would be interested in the possibility of running as a Democrat for president. However, she later clarified her view and says a presidential bid is unlikely because âIâve always felt very secure and confident with myself in knowing what I could do and what I could not,â she told the magazine. âAnd so itâs not something that interests me. I donât have the DNA for it.â CNN Religious and spiritual views Oprah Winfrey was brought up in the Baptist church and after being baptized aged 8 she became evangelical about the religion. However, as she grew up she accepted a wider definition of spirituality â a spirituality which embraces the truth in all religions and different spiritual paths. Speaking during Oprahâs Lifeclass: The Tour she said: âI am a Christian, that is my faith. Iâm not asking you to be a Christian. If you want to be one I can show you how. But it is not required. I have respect for all faiths. All faiths. But what Iâm talking about is not faith or religion. Iâm talking about spirituality.â Speaking on her own beliefs she retains great love for the church and its contribution to black culture, but she doesnât want to limit herself to the confines of a particular religion, she says: âI canât define âGod,â so to be open to the mystical and mystery of God is a natural part of myself. So people criticize me for not being what they are, and I say, itâs working for me and has worked for me and continues to work for me, in a way that fills me with a sense of peace and contentment about what God means to me.â â Oprah Winfrey (AARP) Winfrey has enthusiastically supported new age writers such as Eckart Tolleâs books, The Power Now and Stillness Speaks and Marianne Williamsonâs contributions to âA Course in Miracles.â And your children.
