In 2011 when Oprah launched OWN I created a Facebook group called "OWN: The Oprah Viewers Club" because I wanted a space for us as viewers to unpack the content and explore the ways in which it informs, inspires and challenges us. Recently I started a podcast called The Poet God which for me was about answering the call to live a more fulfilling and authentic life. Now I’m happy to announce that beginning with this episode I’m taking all of that one step further with a new edition of the podcast called Dear Oprah, affectionately named after a column I write and publish in our group. It's been quite awhile but I'm glad to be here with you again. Thank you for listening!
