How did Oprah get her name?

Answer 1

Oprah Winfrey became who she is, because her own childhood changed her for the good. Her childhood was filled with sad and depressing events, and at that time she became pregnant. She lost the baby at a young age, and that someway somehow made her stronger. Her mother had send her to her father, and he was very strict with her. He put her on the right path, but Oprah always carried the lessons she learned, the sadness that's in her heart, and more. During her teenage years, she wanted to become a journalist. For the reason, she wants to let the victims of abuse voices be heard across the world, she wanted people to tell their stories, and Oprah Winfrey wanted to give other people a chance to retell their journey. She didn't have that chance, from the pain she went through made her become a journalist. Which led to being a newscaster, then a talk show host, and to the famous Oprah Winfrey.
