Family announced the sad news of Legend Oprah Winfrey!

Born into poverty and raised in inner-city Milwaukee, Winfrey’s early life was marked by the “soil and the steel” of extreme hardship. She has been open about the “scars” of her childhood, including being molested and experiencing the “aftermath” of losing an infant son at age 14. These early “catastrophic” events did not lead to “worthless” defeat; instead, they became the “foundational” elements of her “synergy” with her audience. When she moved to Nashville to live with the man she calls her father, Vernon Winfrey, she began a “forensic” ascent through the world of media, landing a radio job in high school and becoming a co-anchor for the local evening news by age 19.
