Oprah to Appear on New BET Show Meet the Faith

As you know African Americans are by and large God fearing people (despite the fact the media will have you think otherwise). Oprah Winfred is certainly a living example of an Inspiring African American woman who is using the power of the media and her tremendous wealth to make a change in the world.

Whether empowering women with information or helping young people in South African Oprah must be a women moved by the hand of God. She will be featured this week on BET's new provocative show "Meet the Faith".

I didn't catch TD Jake's entire Interview last week (just a few minutes) but I hope to catch Oprah this week. Let's try to support this show even if that means recording or TiVo-ing the show.

We don't have many Christian talk shows dealing with African American Issues and let's work to keep this one going. Find out about the shows below.
