Childhood Opera

Her father was a barber in her small town and her mother worked as a maid in neighborhood homes.

The young opera lived a life of poverty in her early years.

​

Poverty was not itself the only obstacle in Winfrey's life was;  Her parents separated at a young age, which prompted her to live with her grandmother.

Oprah was raped at the age of 12, and this traumatic event was one of the hallmarks of her life.

 The color of her skin was the reason behind this bullying, as she was one of the first Africans to attend this university.

Oprah did not give in to that, but rather dealt aggressively with the accident and continued her life, and at the university level she was bullied by her colleagues.
