Harvest day makes my heart sing 🥬🥬🥬 What are y’all up to this Sunday?
“I wanted to take a moment to recognize the brave women of Iran who are in the fight for their lives. It was September 16 when Mahsa Amini died while in police custody after she was arrested for allegedly wearing her headscarf too loosely. She was only 22-years-old. Ever since, protesters in Iran and across the world have been calling for justice for her death. These women and their supporters are taking to the streets, taking to social media, cutting their hair in an act of resistance, burning their head scarfs, and making sure we don’t forget Mahsa’s name. They’ve gotten arrested, brutalized, and even killed. They’re not only sacrificing their jobs, but their lives all to stand up for their rights and their freedom. Their fortitude is so inspiring to me and the movement they sparked is a shining example of what people can achieve when they band together in order to create change. I applaud these women. We speak your name, Mahsa Amini, and the names of all the others protestors who have lost their lives fighting for their right for free expression.” – @oprah during tonight’s monthly livestream on OprahDaily.com
I’m so proud of Gloria aka @footnanny who started giving me pedicures (and happy feet) in Chicago 20 years ago. She then came to California to start her own business from scratch and is now opening a foot spa on posh Rodeo Drive. I was the first to sit in the chair and now that chair is open for all of you. Congratulations sis, I celebrate your vision and perseverance 🙌🏾🙌🏾.
When we started @queensugarown, @ava called me saying, “I have this idea: What if we just have all women directors?” Her vision led to 7 seasons, 88 episodes, and 42 women calling, “Action!” And to that I say, take your bow Ava! Thank you @variety for spotlighting this incredible feat—we hope it inspires generations to come. #PowerOfWomen (📸: @ramonarosales)

Sidney Poitier’s father told him that the measure of a man is how well he takes care of his family— and Sidney was a giant when it came to that. The thing he loved the most about himself was being a dad. Sidney’s six daughters never lived in the shadow of his life, they lived in his light. I want to thank Sydney, Pamela, Anika, Beverly, and Sherri Poitier for sharing their father with the world. #Sidney is available now on @appletvplus and in theaters. Tap the link in my bio to watch!
Book lovers unite! I’m excited to join our forever First Lady @MichelleObama on her #TheLightWeCarry Tour in Los Angeles on December 13 to discuss her new book. Head to michelleobamabooks.com for tickets and hope to see you there 📖 YouTube Theater
Our next Book Club selection is…“Demon Copperhead” by Barbara Kingsolver. One of America’s best-known and revered authors, @barbara.kingsolver is the author of “The Poisonwood Bible,” a previous Book Club pick. Her new novel is just the kind of book you want to read right now: an epic tale set in the mountains of southern Appalachia and narrated by a truly unforgettable protagonist, Damon. A modern adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “David Copperfield,” this book is an extraordinary coming-of-age tale that journeys through poverty, child labor, addiction, love and loss. You’ll root for “Demon” as he overcomes peril at every turn using only his wits and determination.
You don’t have to have read “David Copperfield” to enjoy “Demon Copperhead” – either way, you’ll be moved by Barbara Kingsolver’s great literary gifts and compassion for her characters. We hope you’ll join us as we explore this magnificent novel. #ReadWithUs

Dear Reggie,
Rest in Peace knowing you brought a lot of joy and so much laughter. You made every face you touched feel more beautiful. I imagine you’re holding court with St. Peter, Gabriel, and all the real Marys— bringing a lot of humor to Heaven.
We had so much fun shooting @thecolorpurple and now you can bring that joy home! The movie is now available wherever you buy or rent your digital movies 💜
Off to the @criticschoice. Thanks @dolcegabbana for another knockout Purple dress 💜
I am so proud of @tasiasword. She makes her breakout feature film debut as Celie in @thecolorpurple and she moves audiences to tears and on to their feet. I asked her what this means to her and she responded in her small but mighty voice, “God didn’t forget about me.” Fantasia, this is just the beginning!

Leadership is about empathy. It’s about having the ability to relate to and connect with people for the purpose of inspiring and empowering their lives. And @staceyabrams is exactly the type of leader we need to guide the people of Georgia. Which is why I’m sitting down with Stacey to speak with her about why she’s running for governor and how we can write the next greatest chapter in Georgia’s history. RSVP at staceyabrams.com/oprah. Hope y’all can join us!
