Oprah Winfrey

Oprah was born in rural Mississippi in a small low-income family where she had a troubled childhood of rape, abuse, child pregnancy and tragedy. Through sheer grit and determination she overcame all odds, fighting her way through school and college to end up with a career in communication. Her talk show, the Oprah Winfrey show is possibly the most popular in the world and it is all due to her honest personality, straightforward style and general likability.

 

Oprah has overcome the odds and become a woman that a lot of women look up to and aspire to, therefore her story from hell to fame is the confidence young girls who have suffered similarly that things do get better, which is exactly the message I want my magazine to portray.
