Oprah was on campus talking to students and announcing her new $13 million donation. She had previously donated $12 million to Morehouse. The school is a private, historically black men’s college.
At the event, she was honored by the students who handed her roses. She shared video captioned, “Spent a day marinating in black excellence with these gorgeous, promising, young men at @Morehouse.
They honored me with roses, a song, and a portrait for a scholarship fund I set up 30 years ago. Can’t wait to see what they do with their future.”

Buzzfeed —The story doesn’t end there. The day after posting the interaction online, Olu awoke to a DM from someone on Oprah’s team saying that Oprah wanted to send him a new phone: “Oprah already has this phone for you, and it’s my job to make sure you get it.”
“For her to go out of her way to send me a phone was amazing,”
