This was the single best speech I've heard from Oprah ever. As a black woman I can't express how affirming and motivational this was. I'm saving this. I've been motivated by her work, words and speeches but this is the absolute best.

[@bobby9882]

52:48 to 53:13 this is why I love and have always looked up to Oprah...her wisdom and guidance has help get me through some of life's hardest and most challenging times. Thank you Lady O!

[@John3v8]

Would love to hear the rest of the Q & A!!!!

[@daezjn]

uhhh why is there interruption in the recording halfway ? And then the recording cuts off at the end?? :( is there a full length recording somewhere else???

[@TAMISHonline]

Are you all aware that someone in production I assume is having a full conversation on top of Oprah's audio starting around 40:52?

[@Me-np6el]

“Use your personality to serve the energy of your soul”🌹 I will practice that! Wonderful talk! Do the soul work! “We are here to be used by the source”👏🏾 we are here to serve! I often wonder what does this life mean without existing but to exist it means to be connected to the source !

[@wafaeazrak1373]

huge inspiration to the world

[@kenny808kine8]

[@fionaolivia704]

Thank You for sharing this; I feel set up for the day!

[@susankenneally4618]

Really great speech, years of knowledge put into it, really respect oprah and what she is about, what her intension with her life.

[@rhodadonavan6399]

WHY DID YOU CUT HER OFF???

[@nanamasilo3934]

OMG mama O you are true inspiration to me, so profound indeed.

[@SayItSistaATL]

What a speech! So Strong. It fuels me!

[@eilmlilm2490]

This is awesome..awesome...awesommmme!

[@UnsungLilly]

Wow! So inspiring

[@ms.optimistic2480]

That guy who's talking over Oprah needs to shut his mouth. What's he even saying anyway, his speech is contorted. Anyway what wonderful and magnificent words from Ms. Oprah!!!

[@carmellaboykin2720]

Why is this cut off...??!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!??!?!?!?

[@ElizabethLopez-vl2em]

I don’t want to like this I want to love this over and over and over! 😘😘😘

[@twilderlm2559]

How they just going 2 cut that off like this... where is pt 2??

[@eclecticcaduceator]

@nowthisnews can u edit the mans voice out ?

[@WamuyuGatheru]

Her speeches have moved to another level. I think she got a speechwriter too

[@deannadelmar4485]

Wamuyu Gatheru Source? Oprah is not only brilliant, but she chooses to do good.

[@FikiNom]

It's all her. She has always been an orator. Go and watch her commencement speeches from long back

[@LindasDaughter]

Why do you think she has speechwriter? Because she speaks well, she is on point, and it's because she is a "Women". Hmmmmmmmmm

[@LindasDaughter]

Wamuyu you must be a man, lol

[@user-tq1mm8gh9e]

W Gatheru it comes from reading more you read the more your vocab and the way one forms a sentence become deep and her experience gives her that heft. Do NOT try to delegitimate her intelligent and being. Love her.

[@eclecticcaduceator]

i love Oprah , Oprah we all love you, thank you

[@SureshKumar-yq4ef]

When the call come iam in work

[@1Batya]

[@LandyCorner]

This was awesome

[@sandrafombellida4609]

Oprah Winfrey thank you so much for everything you do for us. You are like a angel to me 🙏. God bless you always 🙏❤️

[@williamsolufemi1820]

57:24 was very eye opening for me. if we all operate with this at the back of our minds the world would be a better place.

[@2Bharani]

I love her, l love what she says, what she has to say and what she stands for. I'm so proud of her as a person, as a woman. I look up to her and want to be like her. A person that makes a difference. That touches lives and transforms them into someone better with just her presence alone. I'm not black but blackness may run through my veins, but what do I know. What does she has to say of the many black African that have come to the USA in the last few decades, that look down on African American, thinking themselves better because...? I want to know.

[@SureshKumar-yq4ef]

My happiness my happiness

[@SureshKumar-yq4ef]

Eveywhere is barrier . my circumstances are worst

[@angeliquemcintyre9911]

This woman is an advanced soul that we need more of.Thinking of how the beautiful darker people were treated.Humans are a naive disgrace.We better learn soon and people like Oprah will teach this. Karmic debt will prevail.Beneficiary Karma is due to others and so it is.

[@HRTMDE123]

I am NOTHING MORE THAN A humble, poor, WHITE COUNTRY BOY>>>>>>BUT.....I LOVE THIS!!!..... I am told I am a descendant of the abolitionist JOHN BROWN; a white man, who led a slave revolt at Harper's Ferry Federal out post which FAILED. John Brown was captured, tried and found guilty of treason and slavery insurrection and thereafter was put to death by hanging. I must say that...I ABSOLUTELY KNOW through family documents and records that my Surname of the Brown family name was and are for over 200 years that my family WERE NOT, ARE NOT AND NEVER WILL BE SLAVERISTS. We were and still are DIRT POOR!! As we toiled with the African Americans for life and most certainly for freedom!! Even so Lord COME QUICKLY!!!

[@thinktank4768]

It astonishes me that anyone would be impressed with the (evil) slave era.
