Oprah Winfrey shares the May 2012 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine with her young 21-yr-old self. In the issue, which hits newsstands on April 10th, the 58-year-old media mogul reveals what advice she would give to her teenage self, a 19-year-old woman she calls beautiful brown-skinned girl. “You’ve spent too many days and years trying to please others and be what they wanted you to be. You will have to learn that the wounds of your past—rape, molestation, whippings for “stepping out of place,” and not being allowed to show anger or cry afterward—damaged your self-esteem. Yet through it all, you’ve held on to a belief in God and God’s belief in you. That will be your single greatest gift: knowing there is a power greater than yourself and trusting that Force to guide you.”
