We’re honored to announce the People’s Fund of Maui, a fund putting money directly in the pockets of those who were affected by the recent wildfires.
As we have seen firsthand, the impacts of these wildfires have been devastating, and we’re here to ensure with 100% guarantee that your donations will go directly into the hands of Lahaina residents.
Every adult resident who lives in the affected area and was displaced by the wildfires in Lahaina and Kula is eligible to receive $1200 per month to help them through this period of recovery. All you have to do is go to PeoplesFundofMaui.org to apply.
We are honored to start this campaign with $10 million dollars and ask for your help in donating to those who have lost their homes. We thank you in advance for your contribution.

I have never in my life experienced something as transcendent as @beyonce’s Renaissance Tour. That kind of talent, synergy, expression, and anointing is something that comes straight from a Source that creates the planets. The dancers, the production, the musicians, and the team in front and behind the scenes, all perfectly align to create a renaissance in today’s world. You must see it 🪩💃🏽 MetLife Stadium
I spent two beautiful days in Marrakesh, Morocco, which wasn’t enough time to experience so much magnificent culture. But I did get to explore Souk Semmarine, indulge in a thrillingly delicious meal underneath a Moroccan tent, learn about the art of rug making (especially how they’re made with the consortium of 360 women), and dance the night away! Thank you for a soul filling time, Morocco 🇲🇦
If y’all love a charcuterie board, then you’re gonna LOVE this charcuterie bar. Thank you @chefsebastiencanonne and @chefchevalier for your work, especially for @equii_foods! One piece of bread with peanut butter and I’m full all day 😍🥖🧀
@tasiasword, our Celie in the new @thecolorpurple, turned 39 today—so we had to celebrate it while part of the Purple family is at @essencefest 🥳🎂🎉 @daniebb3 @tarajiphenson @essence
Went to the beach to give out copies of “The Covenant of Water” by @abraham.verghese.official! Wondering where I should go next 👀 And don’t forget that you can listen to “The Covenant of Water: The Podcast” wherever you podcast or by clicking the link in my bio!
By the way cargo pants by @cynthiarowley for everyone who’s asking!
Book covers are so important to me because that’s the first thing anyone looks at when they’re at a book store, so @arthurcbrooks and I spent a lot of time perfecting the cover for “Build The Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier.” Bonus? I get to match with it and so do babies! It’s available now wherever you buy or download your books 📖
One of the great things about @essencefest is you never know who you’re going to bump into! Enjoyed talking with Madam @VP right before she hit the @essence stage! #EssenceFest

It takes a village and I’m so proud to be a part of the village bringing aid to the Maui residents affected by the wildfires with @peoplesfundofmaui. From the 10,000 people who have personally donated to the organizations who have been helping since day one to the community leaders who offered their insights to the friends calling me saying they too want to support, we thank you.
We’ve already had thousands of those affected sign up for assistance and we are working as quickly as we can to verify them and get the money delivered.
Everyone is welcome to support however they can. Visit PeoplesFundOfMaui.Org or tap the link in my bio to learn more. Maui, Hawaii

My mission this summer is to make sure everyone is reading my latest @oprahsbookclub pick, “The Covenant of Water” by @abraham.verghese.official. First step: Seeing if my local bookstore had copies. Now I need to get them into the hands of readers. Stay tuned….
OPRAH IS ON WE CAN DO HARD THINGS!

Listen until the end for the moment that had all four of us crying.

You know @kerrywashington as a talented actress, but she’s also a passionate political activist, a deeply devoted mother, a proud wife…and now? The author of the best-selling memoir #ThickerThanWater. I met her almost a decade ago and I’ve enjoyed seeing her come into her own self and really light up from within. I invited her to my tea house to talk about her challenging childhood, life in and out of the spotlight, and her healing journey to the woman she is today. We hope you enjoy and grow from our conversation!
#OWNSpotlight with Kerry Washington airs tonight, October 28 at 10|9c on @owntv.
My next @oprahsbookclub selection is “Let Us Descend” by @jesmynward. The novel tells the story of Annis, a young enslaved woman who is separated from her mother and sold South. Traveling from the Carolina rice fields to the New Orleans slave markets, Annis uncovers a hidden world of spiritual forces and African ancestor wisdom that help her survive the inhumanity she endures. I am a fan of all of Jesmyn’s work and her newest offering is vital work for our culture.

I gave you an epic summer read, but now it’s time to settle into the fall season with a new book. The next @oprahsbookclub pick is “Wellness” by Nathan Hill! It follows a couple in Chicago through a 20-year journey, from the moment they fall in love to the challenges of marriage, the demands of parenting, the legacy of childhood trauma, and the impact technology has on all our lives. It’s modern, it’s vast, and it’ll leave you thinking about the truth in your own life.

Our new book “Build The Life You Want” is available now wherever you buy or download your books! We hope this book helps you on your life’s journey. May you get happier, year after year, and bring greater happiness to others. @arthurcbrooks
I started reading @arthurcbrooks’ column in @theatlantic called “How to Build A Life” during the pandemic and it quickly became something I looked forward to every week. It was all about what I’ve always cared most about: living with a life of purpose and meaning. I called him and we quickly developed a friendship. I instantly realized that if I still had The Oprah Show, I would be calling him all the time so he could contribute his knowledge to almost every topic. We had many, many conversations and we finally met last year at my tea house (pictured here) to turn those conversations and shared philosophies into our new book, Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier. In the book you’ll find our advice, science-backed work plan, and the blueprint for a better life. It’s available tomorrow September 12, wherever you buy or download your books from 📖
