Opinion | Evette Dionne: 'As we consider Winfrey’s legacy in its entirety — including her myriad shortcomings — it’s critical to recognize how she became, and has indeed remained, one of our most important voices.' - NBCNewsTHINK
As she shared in that Golden Globes speech, her work has been to “say something about how men and women really behave. To say how we experience shame, how we love and how we rage, how we fail, how we retreat, persevere and how we overcome.” She’s achieved that goal in her career, even when the delivery is flawed, she misses the mark or she responds poorly to criticism.
But if her life’s work is to make us reflect on our own behavior and what in our life has caused us to react in the way we do, then she’s more than lived out her promise. Now it’s on us to pick up the baton she’s been carrying for nearly 35 years: Call out injustice where we see it, put our money where our mouth is, make mistakes — in public — that those watching us can learn from and then correct those mistakes in ways that keep us as true to our purpose as Winfrey has been to hers.
