Oprah Winfrey openly discusses her difficult relationship with her late mother, Vernita Lee, on a recent podcast episode. Despite her immense success, Winfrey conveys that her childhood trauma still impacts her. Born in Mississippi and raised primarily by her grandmother, she expressed difficulty in finding positive memories of her mother, sharing that in a church tribute, she could only say she was grateful Lee didn't abort her. Winfrey reflects on how this lack of connection has caused ongoing emotional struggles throughout her life.
I had been asked to come to church to give all these accolades about my mother, and I couldn't think of one thing.
She didn't abort me. She did the best that she knew.
