Dr. Oprah Winfrey
"Honor your calling, do what you are supposed to do…and when you walk this path of privilege, don't forget the less privileged you leave behind." Talk show host and American icon Oprah Winfrey gave these blunt words of advice to 30,000 graduates and their families at Howard University in Washington, D.C., Saturday. Winfrey accepted an honorary doctorate of humanities and told her fellow graduates, "there is no such thing as failure. What other people label or might try to call failure, I have learned is just God's way of pointing you in a new direction." Oprah is definitely deserving of this doctorate. Congratulations to her. |

Congratulations to Oprah!!!! Along with Loretta Lynn and Dame Judi Dench, she is tied as my favorite honorary doctorate recipient.
