Who is Oprah Winfrey
Ranked #17,472 in Entertainment, #213,237 overall
Oprah - The Most Influential Woman in the World
Oprah Gail Winfrey is thought to be the most influential woman in the world now. She is also considered to be the most philanthropic African-American of all time and one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the United States.
Oprah, as she is known to most, is a talk show host, magazine publisher, book club host, philanthropist, Broadway producer and sometimes actress.
Oprah has been someone that I have "grown up with" over the years and watched her weather public challenges. She is one of the few living women that I have been inspired by for her business ethics, her generous spirit and her unending compassion.

From A Prayer for America - Sunday September 23, 2001
Oprah Winfrey Thoughts after September 11, 2001
Written in the aftermath of the September 11th Tragedy:
- I believe that when you lose a loved one you gain an angel whose name you know.
Over 6,000 and counting, angels added to the spiritual roster these past two weeks.
It is my prayer that they will keep us in their sight with a direct line to our hearts.
May we all leave this place and not let one single life have passed in vain.
May we leave this place determined to now use every moment that we yet live to turn up the volume in our own lives, to create deeper meaning, to know what really matters.
What really matters is who you love and how you love.
