The Oprah Effect: 5 Superstar Careers that Benefitted from Queen Oprah’s Touch
Iyanla Vanzant
Vanzant was a regular on The Oprah Winfrey show as a relationship expert in the 90s. After she and Winfrey had a miscommunication that resulted in severed ties, Iyanla left the show and the two didn’t speak for 11 years. They finally reconnected when Winfrey invited the renowned spiritual leader and her friend back to bury the hatchet. Now, Iyanla has her own show, Iyanla: Fix My Life, on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
