Well I think what Oprah's doing is a great. I don't care if it's here or in Africa. I agree with her, I don't think black youth in this country would have appreciated her efforts. I know plenty people who despite being able to get financial aid to go to college aren't interested and then they spend the little money they do have on clothes and jewelery and other uniquely "negroidian" products. I think black people in this country need help but not the monetary kind, we've seen what our people do with money.
ITS HER MONEY SHE CAN OPEN A SCHOOL WHERE EVER SHE WANTS TO. WHY DONT U DO SOMETHING FOR KIDS IN YOUR COMMUNITY...OR ARE U TOO BUSY PUTTIN THEM DOWN (LIKE BILL COSBY)
Oprah's 4 interviews with Jill Bolte Taylor were the first that Oprah did after Eckhart Tolle and they take everything Tolle talks about to another level. Oprah's copy of Jill's book, MY STROKE OF INSIGHT, was dog-eared and all marked up and kept reading from it the way she read from A New Earth and recommended it highly.

Oprah's recommendation was enough for me. I read My Stroke of Insight and I loved it too. This story is as inspiring as The Last Lecture or Tuesdays with Morrie - and even better, it has a Happy Ending!
I bought the book on Amazon because they have it for 40% off retail and they also had an amazing interview with Dr Taylor that I haven't seen anywhere else - Here is the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/My-Stroke-...471755&sr=1-

I read "My Stroke of Insight" in one sitting - I couldn't put it down. I laughed. I cried. It was a fantastic book (I heard it's a NYTimes Bestseller and I can see why!), but I also think it will be the start of a new, transformative Movement! No one wants to have a stroke as Jill Bolte Taylor did, but her experience can teach us all how to live better lives. Her TED.com speech was one of the most incredibly moving, stimulating, wonderful videos I've ever seen. Her Oprah Soul Series interviews were fascinating. They should make a movie of her life so everyone sees it. This is the Real Deal and gives me hope for humanity.
