By the age of 17 she was already a reporter at a local radio station. She went on to work for several TV stations including WTVF-TV, WJZ-TV and WLS-TV. Oprah hosted a morning show which garnered top ratings in a very short time; her show went national then international.
With ownership and co-ownership of several businesses and organizations, Oprah is the first black American woman billionaire. Despite coming from a childhood where she went through sexual abuse and resulting loss in confidence, Oprah is a prime example of what one person can achieve through hard work, determination and incessant optimism.
