If you’ve missed your afternoon dose of Oprah, you are in luck. Oprah has teamed up with Apple+ to stream a new show called, “The Oprah Conversation.”
According to a press release, the show "will continue to explore impactful and relevant topics with fascinating thought leaders from all over the world." Oprah filmed the show remotely and features intimate conversations with notable celebrities, authors, politicians, and more. Producers say the show will be “bringing truth and perspective to a range of topics shaping our world, they reveal gripping stories of human connection."
Oprah, like many celebrities working from home during this pandemic, shifted her focus. Since COVID-19’s arrival in the U.S., we’ve seen many TV personalities shift their focus to address current issues. A major issue that’s near and dear to Oprah’s hear is racism.
The first episode is titled "How to Be an Antiracist." It features bestselling author, historian, and scholar of race and discriminatory policy in America, Professor Ibram X. Kendi. Kendi currently serves as director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University.
Oprah is not a stranger to Apple+. She currently streams two other shows, "Oprah Talks COVID-19" and "Oprah's Book Club."
