Oprah Winfrey has been on every cover of every issue of “O, The Oprah Magazine” since it started 20 years ago. But she’s stepping aside to feature to Breonna Taylor on the September issue, which will be focused on anti-racism and White privilege.
According to Lucy Kaylin, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Lady O and her team wanted to use her platform to raise awareness about police brutality against Black Americans in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
The special issue – which hits newsstands on August 11th – examines systematic racism and includes lists of anti-racist actions readers can take, such as which Black-owned businesses they can support, organizations they can donate to, petitions they can sign, articles they can read and more, the release states. There’s also a column, “Hard White Truths,” White readers share when they were aware of their White privilege and what they’re doing to dismantle the status quo.
- As if that weren’t enough, Oprah has a new show on Apple TV Plus. The first of “The Oprah Conversation” – which is available now – features Emmanuel Acho, the host of “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man.”
