The most powerful woman God ever created–Oprah Winfrey gets one of the highest recognitions awarded!

‘OP’ will get her place among the elite when she will be honored for her 25 years in the entertainment world at the Kennedy Center in December. Oprah has over the last 25 years become the single-handed most influential and important person in the world. She has surpassed global icon with her charitable acts and of course with her show, which has changed and inspired many lives. This has to be the capping point of a career once it ends next year as the face of daytime television. Oprah will be launching her OWN network which we’re hoping will include more hysterical Beckys going nuts when Oprah gives them a free cup of ice!

When asked about her Kennedy Center honor the talk show host said,

“This feels like an official American citizenship in a very exclusive club of artists and contributors to the nation in a very special way.”
