Travels
Oprah Winfrey has traveled all over the world, giving back to needy people and promoting her causes. She traveled to South Africa to open an all-girls school called The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls. Oprah’s reasoning for building her own school was because she felt distant from some of her past projects and she wanted to be there and “feel the connection” with this project (Oprah Winfrey: Philanthropic Traveler). Oprah has also traveled to Copenhagen, Denmark to support Chicago’s bid for hosting the 2016 Olympics. She has also toured the country with Barack Obama’s election campaign. Oprah’s support of Obama was the first political support that she has openly given.
