At the age of 9, she was raped! He took her to the ice cream shop, with blood still running her legs!
At the age of 10, she endured molestation by two close relatives!
At the age of 14, she became a pregnant! A secret she hid until the day of the child's delivery. The baby was born premature and later died due to complications.
Her mother gave up her younger sister for adoption and her brother lost his life to AIDS.
From that moment on, she dedicated herself to rising above all her circumstances.
But she faced another setback after loosing her job at 23 because her employers thought she got emotionally invested in her stories.
Taking her loss as a sign, she began her career on television and in 1984 as a morning show host working day and night with persistence and consistency. And soon, she became undisputed queen of television talk shows before amassing a media empire.
Today she is worth an estimated $2.9 billion.
CNN called her the most powerful woman.
Most people would use this life as an excuse. She was not consumed; She prevailed!!
and SHE IS???
