On Friday evening, we gathered to reflect on another remarkable year of the Oprah Winfrey Scholars Program (oprahscholars) and celebrated our graduating seniors. However, the night took a turn most did not see coming.

Ms. Oprah Winfrey returned to The House to check in on her scholars before they entered the next chapter of their lives. In an intimate talkback session, she shared her wisdom, candor, and joy with all in the room, putting the battery pack in the back of our students (and everyone in attendance) to move forward with the assurance of who they are, how they’ve been prepared for success, and a resilient mindset braced to overcome any challenges. 

Since 1989, the scholarship has funded the education of Morehouse Men selected into the program, changing the trajectory of their lives. The evening was a powerful reminder of the infinite impact that can be made when you walk in alignment to your purpose while in service to the betterment of humanity. 

Thank you to Dr. Jann Adams and the OSW team for their stewardship of our scholars and the program as well as Will Bumpus of the Oprah Winfrey Charitable Foundation, the entire Harpo team, and Morehouse Marketing & Communications for an unforgettable moment.
