Winfrey has often spoken about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who support your growth and well-being along with the impact of relationships on personal success. The revered talk show host’s own journey to success was deeply influenced by the people around her. She attributes much of her growth to mentors and friends who challenged and uplifted her.

One example is her early relationship with Maya Angelou, who not only became a close friend but also a guiding figure in her life. Maya’s wisdom and support helped Winfrey through some of her toughest times, including her early career struggles.
