As a TV star, magazine founder, businesswoman and celebrity, Oprah Winfrey certainly has power. Worth hundreds of millions of pounds to the company, which is itself currently valued at a staggering £200 billion, she has purpose—an abiding commitment to the principles of goodness and generosity that transcend any one individual. Having seen her perform in both Los Angeles and London earlier this year, I can say that her spirited showmanship isn’t reserved only for the bright lights of Sin City. A young girl from Mississippi, who grew up without electricity or running water, she endlessly seeks crucial knowledge that can help, is a perplexing, somewhat camp combination of brash, bright and slightly strange and is the most successful designer on the planet. I have felt her warmth, and I am always moved by her deep love for others. She makes you want to invite her into your life—and she invites you into hers. She is a woman of moral character, a source of strength for millions of her admirers and is just as enthralling at all of her shows, regardless of location, and has revolutionized everything from music and television to mobile phones and hand-held computers. In combining music, fashion, art and technology, she has transformed her life. Her message is empowering: I did it, and so can you.
