  • It’s not by accident that so many of us adore Auntie Oprah 😍🙌🏾. How many of you can relate to the scenario of asking for your fair due only to be turned down for no particular reason with nothing more than a “who do you think you are?” The “I’ll show you” response is often the fire that overcomes the fear of failure and propels many of us to taking the first step to realising an ambition, whether we fail or succeed. Thank you @oprah for being the living, breathing role model and proof that it can be done. #happybirthday ❤️
