Behind The Photo: Just 10 Seconds Oprah!

I have met Oprah 4 times in my life but this is the only picture I have to prove it.

My journey to meeting Oprah Winfrey began with my dream interview with Whitney Houston. After witnessing one of Whitney’s awe-inspiring performances, I finally found the courage to submit my video to MTV’s FANatic. When my episode aired, my family gathered around the TV like it was the Super Bowl. Watching myself interact with Whitney felt surreal—I was frozen in shock while my house erupted in cheers.

That moment changed everything. Suddenly, I was being recognized by Whitney fans everywhere and invited to speak at schools and churches about following dreams. I realized my experience wasn’t just mine anymore—it was inspiring others. And I had one person I desperately wanted to thank: Oprah Winfrey. Her words, “God can dream a bigger dream than you,” had guided me, and I knew I had to express my gratitude in person.

Determined, I called Oprah’s studio for weeks until I secured a seat in the audience. My goal? Get ten seconds with Oprah. On April 20, 1999, I walked into The Oprah Winfrey Show and prayed for my moment. Seated front and center, I boldly held up ten fingers during a commercial break. Oprah noticed.

“Ten what?” she asked.

“Ten seconds with you before the show ends,” I blurted out.

She smiled and moved on. I had no idea if she’d actually give me those ten seconds—but I refused to give up.

After the show, Oprah was leaving when I locked eyes with her again. “I gotta go,” she said, pointing to her watch.

Before she could take a step, I called out: “Uh, uh, Oprah!”

The room fell silent. I could feel people staring, but I didn’t care.

“Oprah, please. Just ten seconds,” I pleaded.

She paused, then sighed. “Alright then. Go ahead.”

I couldn’t believe it. I had just convinced Oprah Winfrey to stop and listen to me. My prayer had been answered—even if she didn’t know why.

As Oprah walked back to her big yellow chair, I stood there in disbelief—she was actually going to listen to me. Though the show had technically ended, a camera operator was suddenly at my feet, filming. My only thought was, Quencie, you better make this count.

By some miracle, the words flowed effortlessly. My ten seconds turned into ten minutes—perhaps Oprah’s fear all along. When I finished thanking her for inspiring me to chase my dreams, the audience erupted in applause. I hadn’t expected that kind of love, especially when they were supposed to be heading out.

Oprah walked over and gave me a big hug. I handed her a picture of me and Whitney with the words “You will win when you believe” written at the bottom.

She smiled and read it aloud. “You will win when you believe. Fantastic!”

I floated out of Harpo Studios, thanking God the entire way home. That day taught me an invaluable lesson—never give up five minutes before the miracle. Oprah had been on her way out, but I wasn’t rude, just persistent. And in the end, she gave me more than the ten seconds I had asked for. Once again, she proved her own words true: “God can dream a bigger dream than you.”

This wasn’t my first Oprah encounter—just the first time I stopped her from leaving her own studio. I’ve met Oprah four times, but only have one photo to prove it.

My First Oprah Encounter

The first time I saw Oprah, I was in college. My high school teacher—who had taught me to drive a stick shift—invited me on a road trip to Chicago for a taping. It remains the only time I’ve ever driven a manual car.

At the studio, I sat in the far-left section, close but not ideal. When Oprah opened the floor for questions, I eagerly raised my hand. A producer rushed over, deemed my question worthy, and instructed me to stand by the mic. But just as my turn came, Oprah announced, “We’re out of time.”

I threw my hands up in disappointment. My reaction made the whole section groan in protest. Oprah laughed and asked, “Did you just turn the whole section against me?” Then, to my surprise, she walked over and hugged me. I handed her a note and a picture of myself. No cameras captured the moment, but Oprah Winfrey had spoken to me and hugged me. Epic.

The Best Friends Show

In 2011, during The Oprah Winfrey Show’s final season, my best friend Tam made sure we attended at least one taping. She wrote a heartfelt letter about our friendship, and out of thousands of submissions, we got selected for a special Best Friends episode featuring Gayle King.

We flew to Chicago, buzzing with excitement. Even though I had been to Oprah’s show before, this felt brand new. Before the taping, we ran into Oprah’s Executive Producer, Sheri Salata—the mastermind behind Oprah’s legendary finale at the United Center. We even got a picture with her!

Each of these Oprah encounters reminded me that dreams unfold in ways we can’t predict. Sometimes, you just have to ask, be persistent, and let the universe do the rest.

The entire experience was magical—from standing in line to chatting with fellow audience members to sitting just three rows back from Oprah, dead center. It felt like angels were orchestrating every moment.

The show was all about best friends, with Oprah and Gayle sharing hilarious stories. After taping, they stuck around for a 30–40 minute Q&A with the audience. I had prepped the perfect question for days, but each time I raised my hand, Oprah called on someone else. Forget it, I thought.

That’s when Tam stepped in. She waited for the perfect moment, raised her hand, and—boom—Oprah called on her. Without missing a beat, Tam said, “My best friend has a question,” and turned to me. I had no part in making this happen, but there I was, face-to-face with Oprah.

Nervous, I stumbled through my question, but Oprah answered it—and Gayle chimed in too. Their response lasted over six minutes, longer than any other question that day! Later, I found out that Oprah.com had posted the entire exchange. I had no clue until Tam’s sister tagged me on Facebook. Seeing that video online was surreal—like my very own Oprah interview!

And then, Oprah blew our minds. She gifted the entire audience a two-day stay at Miraval Spa in Arizona—one of her all-time favorite retreats. But she didn’t stop there. She covered roundtrip flights, airport car service, and even pajamas. Oprah thought of everything.

For over 20 years, I had watched her give away incredible gifts on TV. Never in a million years did I think I would be on the receiving end.

When Tam and I decided to go to the spa over Memorial Day weekend, I tweeted Oprah, not expecting a response. At the time, she had 5 million followers. No way she’ll see this, I thought.

But she did. And she replied.

Oprah Winfrey replied to me.

It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable experience.

When Tam saw Oprah had replied to my tweet, she immediately tweeted her too—and Oprah replied again! Tam had sent Oprah a thank-you gift for the trip and wanted to know if she received it. We both asked, but never expected a response. Oprah rarely used Twitter, so for her to not only be online but to reply twice felt like a miracle.

Tam and I had an unforgettable time at Miraval Spa—even spotting Ellen DeGeneres and Portia! You know it's top-tier when Ellen is there too. I’ll forever be grateful to Oprah for this incredible gift. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

When Oprah replies to your tweet, you never forget it! After that, I started live-tweeting my favorite OWN shows, and soon, my tweets made it onto TV promos for Oprah’s Next Chapter, Iyanla: Fix My Life, and Super Soul Sunday. Seeing my words on OWN was surreal—like being part of the shows I loved!

My Tweet Reads: @IyanlaVanzant is doing great TV @Oprah thank you got knowing that and putting her on @OWNTV

I was even invited to live-tweet for OWN one Saturday night, taking over the @OWNers handle and leading the conversation with fellow fans. Social media kept my Oprah connection alive in a way I never imagined. Growing up, all we could do was talk back to the TV—now, we could actually tweet the star! Who knew my Oprah journey would include Twitter takeovers and a world-class spa trip?

At Lifeclass, Tam and I sat less than 12 feet from Oprah and her guest, Iyanla Vanzant. During a commercial break, I caught Oprah’s attention and silently asked for a photo using only eye contact and hand gestures. She immediately understood and nodded yes—it felt like our little secret! When the show wrapped, I gave her a desperate “But…” look, like a kid reminding their parent about a promised trip to McDonald’s. Oprah didn’t miss a beat—she motioned for Tam and me to come over, and an OWN staffer snapped our picture. Finally, after four encounters, I had photo proof!

Oprah didn’t have to do any of this, but she did. So many celebrities wouldn’t, but she always made time. Across decades, she remained kind and consistent—exactly as she appears on TV.

That day, I also gave Oprah my favorite pen, a Uniball. Before I could say the brand, she guessed it! I was shook. She even held it throughout the episode, and I beamed with pride like I had gifted her a car.

This Lifeclass taping was my final Oprah encounter. Unlike before, I was the one who wrote in and secured two seats. Since it was in L.A., we didn’t have to fly to Chicago. It was taped in the OWN offices’ lunch area, with a much smaller audience. When we arrived, I looked up and saw Arianna Huffington—fancy crowd! Later, she even served the audience snacks. Only at an Oprah event, right?

We were the last ones seated but somehow ended up in the front row—right next to Oprah’s sister, Patricia Lofton. The Oprah magic never ran out!

How I Revived My Aunt Earline’s Sweet Potato Pie Recipe and Found a Taste of Heaven [VIDEO]

Growing up, nothing compared to my Aunt Earline’s Sweet Potato Pie. It was the highlight of every family gathering—a slice of pure love and tradition. When she passed away, I didn’t realize that her pie would become a memory, one I thought I’d never taste again.

That all changed when I reached out to her daughter and granddaughter for the recipe. Learning to make it myself was the best gift I could have given. Every time I bake one, it’s like reconnecting with my Aunt Earline and savoring a little piece of heaven.

Now, I want to share this joy with you. Instead of simply telling you how incredible this pie is, I’ll show you. Watch my step-by-step video tutorial and learn how to create a sweet potato pie that’s as close to perfection as it gets. Trust me—it’s a recipe you’ll treasure forever! 🍠🥧

Reciepe:

3 Medium Sweet Potatos (Boil for 1 hour to 90 minutes until soften)

3 Eggs (whip the eggs) 1 Tbs of Vanilla 1/2 Tbs Cinnamon 1/2 Tbs Nutmeg

1 Cup of Sugar 1 Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk (I use Eagle Brand)

1 Stick of Unsalted Butter (Room Temperature)

2 pie crust ( regular or deep dish depending on how thick you want your pie)

Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Perfect Sweet Potato Pie

1️⃣ Start by creaming together the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
2️⃣ Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and condensed milk. Mix well to combine.
3️⃣ Peel the boiled sweet potatoes and add them to the mixture one at a time. Blend thoroughly to ensure the mixture is smooth and to catch or eliminate any strings from the sweet potatoes. Nobody wants strings in their pie!
4️⃣ Pour the mixture into your prepared pie crust.
5️⃣ Bake at 350°F for 90 minutes:

• For the first 45 minutes, bake uncovered to allow the pie to set.

• Cover with aluminum foil for the last 45 minutes to prevent the crust from burning.

Let the pie cool before serving, and enjoy a slice of sweet, creamy heaven! 🥧✨

I Finally Got The Exact Same Watch Whitney Houston Wore During Our MTV Interview [VIDEO]

In 1998, I had the incredible honor of interviewing Whitney Houston on MTV, and during that unforgettable moment, she wore a watch that for the last few years I dreamed of owning —a small but meaningful connection to that special day.

I searched everywhere, enlisted help, and even scoured the internet with no success. Then, out of nowhere in 2024, BOOM—there it was! Huge shoutout to my bestie, who went above and beyond to secure this treasure for me.

It’s even more special because it’s an Adidas watch—the only sports brand I wear. Now, every time I look down at it, I’m reminded of Whitney and that magical day.

Watch my reaction in the short clip below, taken from an Instagram livestream where I celebrated the 26th anniversary of my interview with Whitney. This watch is more than an accessory—it’s a cherished memory. 💖⌚

Whitney Houston's Former Bodyguard, David Roberts Releases Memoir, Protecting Whitney [VIDEO]

David Roberts, Whitney Houston's trusted bodyguard from 1988 to 1995, is set to release his memoir, Protecting Whitney, on January 28, 2025. The book offers an intimate glimpse into their professional and personal connection, revealing moments of vulnerability, loyalty, and heartbreak during their time together.

Reflecting on their bond, Roberts shared, “One night, she rested her head on my shoulder, and I was tempted to give up everything. But if you cross that line, you lose your objectivity—and that makes it dangerous for the person you’re protecting.” He also drew parallels between his real-life experiences and the on-screen relationship portrayed in The Bodyguard, noting, “Much of what was contained in the film, she and I actually lived through.”

Protecting Whitney delves into the highs and lows of life with the legendary singer. From navigating security challenges to witnessing moments of quiet joy, Roberts paints a vivid picture of traveling the globe with one of the most talented and generous stars of all time. However, the memoir also reveals heartbreaking truths, including Roberts’ feelings of helplessness as Houston faced personal struggles and the devastating toll they took.

For Whitney’s fans, Protecting Whitney promises to be a heartfelt, honest account of her life from someone who stood by her side during her most iconic years. You can order Protecting Whitney by clicking here. 💜

How a 67 Year Old Black Woman Succeeds in Working Out: My Mom's Weekly Fitness Routine [VIDEO]

My mom is a 67-year old retired work out queen! I was so inspired by her weekly fitness routine that I decided to shadow and film her so that I could share it with the world. I definitely want to be her when I grow up.

My mother has always enjoyed being active, but I think she took it to an all new level when she retired almost 13 years ago. This woman hula hoops for 20 minutes every morning to keep her core tight and goes on bike rides for 2-3 hours at a time. She literally spends an afternoon riding through parks, bike trails and even to neighboring towns. What?! Lol! Please know that we are not the same. I rode with her once and never joined her again. Bike riding is not my ministry. Lol!

She does pilates twice a week, and takes an aqua aerobics class twice a week. Whenever she is in the water like clockwork, she swims away from her class down to the diving board, and proceeds to do 400 pull ups! Yes, you read that right! But she would want me to tell you that she doesn’t do 400 all at one time. She does them in groups of 10 or 20. But still!!!! Who at 67 is doing 400 pull ups on anything. I am shocked and inspired all at the same time.

On the days that my mom does pilates she does 30 minutes on the elliptical machine followed by a 3 mile walk on the track. This is all before she even starts her 45 minute Pilates class. I told her she needs a hobby that doesn’t require her body to do it. Lol! I am happy that on the days she’s in the water she follows up with time in the sauna. It’s the only time she’s sitting and doing nothing. I was exhausted just filming everything she does.

My mom’s weekly schedule is consistent. She even walks in the park 3-4 days a week depending on how the weather is. The only time she has ever taken an extended break from her routine was during the pandemic when we were all at home and sheltered in place. But please know that she found other things to do at home to fill that void.

I have been wanting to share my mom’s fitness routine for quite awhile because I am super proud of her and I secretly think she is a unicorn. I also wanted her to see just how other people view her.

Check out the extended vlog below and then scroll down further to watch the Tik Tok video I made for her.

Watch, enjoy and be inspired. Ladies and gentleman, this is what 67 can look like!
