I started out as a fan of Tina Turner, then a full-on groupie, following her from show to show around the country, and then, eventually, we became real friends. She is our forever goddess of rock ‘n’ roll who contained a magnitude of inner strength that grew throughout her life. She was a role model not only for me but for the world. She encouraged a part of me I didn’t know existed.
Once she claimed her freedom from years of domestic abuse, her life became a clarion call for triumph. I’m grateful for her courage, for showing us what victory looks like wearing Manolo’s and a leather miniskirt. She once shared with me that when her time came to leave this earth, she would not be afraid, but excited and curious. Because she had learned how to LIVE surrounded by her beloved husband, Erwin, and friends. I am a better woman, a better human, because her life touched mine. She was indeed simply the best.

I had the chance to join Tina onstage during her “Wildest Dreams” tour and felt a glimpse of her enchanted world. I was so nervous that my knees were actually knocking together. Dancing onstage with her in Los Angeles was the most fun I ever remember having stepping out of my box. Tina lived out of the box and encouraged me and every woman to do the same.
Y’all have six months to get your purple wear for opening day of #TheColorPurple cause it’s gonna be a purple Christmas 💜💜💜
The Color Purple, a bold new take on the beloved classic, will be in theaters Christmas Day💜
Can’t remember when I’ve had a happier Saturday night. Watching @trevornoah at the Santa Barbara Bowl with Scott Sanders and daughtergirl Tabitha under a full moon sky. He is astutely observant, brilliant and so funny I left with a laugh headache. Go see when he comes to a city near you!

Who says you can’t go home? Tennessee, I’m back! Just delivered the commencement speech at my alma mater @tennstateu and my whole Winfrey/Walker family came out to support! To anyone graduating this year: Take your integrity, your curiosity, your creativity, your guts, and the newfound education of yours and use it to make a difference. And remember when you step out in love, you become someone else’s hope. Congratulations 🎓🎓🎓 Tennessee State University

Easy breezy 2 mile hike with @gayleking, @therealdvf, and Barry. Thank you new knees! Beautiful views along the coast of Mallorca 🇪🇸
I love a good book, but I love sharing it with others even more! So I went to my friend Jelinda’s house to give her a copy of “The Covenant of Water” when I found out she couldn’t get one. We’re both from Mississippi and both love to read! Follow @oprahsbookclub for more book drop-offs!
I’ve read your comments on how many of you couldn’t get your copy of The Covenant of Water by @abraham.verghese.official and I can only deliver so many books door to door. But now many places have stocked up on more copies, so you can get a copy wherever you buy or download your books from! @oprahsbookclub
I started reading @arthurcbrooks’ column in @theatlantic during the early days of the pandemic. I found myself happily anticipating each week’s lesson, which turned out to be a recipe for growing forward. When I discovered he taught happiness at Harvard, I wanted to extend that to the rest of us—which is why we met, became fast friends, and now have written a book together. “Build The Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier” will show you how to improve your life NOW instead of waiting for the outside world to change. Tap the link in my bio to pre-order a copy and it’ll be available at your doorstep on September 12!
In 1972, I came to @newschannel5 as a news reporter, and by 1974 I became Nashville’s first Black female news anchor. Fast forward to today and they named the conference room after me—and now I know I really made it 😂 My dad would LOVE that it’s called the Winfrey Conference Room. Thanks Nashville for a warm welcome this weekend!

The Covenant of Water by @abraham.verghese.official is the perfect Mother’s Day gift if I do say so myself. Order it this weekend to get it just in time to surprise your mom, sister, grandma, or any mother figure in your life with this masterpiece 📖 @oprahsbookclub
I first “met” author @abraham.verghese.official a few months ago when I called to tell him I wanted to pick his book “The Covenant of Water” as my next @oprahsbookclub selection. Then we finally met yesterday when we were getting ready to tell the world on @cbsmornings. And he was so calm, so sure, so grateful and so much more! Authors are my rockstars and I always get excited to meet them. Have you picked up your copy yet?
Traveling with anyone can bring out the best or worst in people. Take me and @gayleking. She loves to explore everything and anything in the city we’re in, while I like to find a good spot to read and relax. But we somehow make it work! Since summer is upon us, we took questions from @oprahdaily Insiders with vacation dilemmas. Watch our latest episode of The OG Chronicles, only on OprahDaily.com!
