ReelStory: Advice & Influence from Oprah Winfrey
Deborah: Ms. Winfrey has been giving me advice from the first day of shooting. I've carried her advice with me and I'm able to stand on my own and be more confident. I would just watch her work all day long, she's incredible so I'm always learning.
I've learned to just keep going, dreams don't come true overnight. You have to keep working hard in the midst of struggle and trust me I've struggled. But, when you really let go and give it to God and be patient, things can change in the blink of an eye. Stay faithful and trust what God has for you, it is for you.
