Referring to a theme used by Marianne Williamson in her book "A Woman's Worth", Oprah said the following in a commencement address to the graduates of all-female Spelman College in 1993.
Be a queen. Dare to be different. Be a pioneer.
Be a leader. Be the kind of woman who in the face
of adversity will continue to embrace life and walk
fearlessly toward the challenge. Take it on! Be a
truth seeker and rule your domain, whatever it is --
your home, your office, your family -- with a loving
heart.
Be a queen. Be tender. Continue to give birth to new
ideas and rejoice in your womanhood... My prayer is
that we will stop wasting time being mundane and
mediocre... We are daughters of God -- here to teach
the world how to love...
It doesn't matter what you've been through, where you
come from, who your parents are -- nor your social or
economic status. None of that matters. What matters
is how you choose to love, how you choose to express
that love through your work, through your family,
through what you give to the world...
Be a queen. Own your power and your glory!
