My Life After Oprah by Abraham McDonald

My life after Oprah has been just that; Life! It’s been crazy wonderful, my life “out loud” now looks how it’s pretty much always looked in my head. I get to sing just about everyday, I get to share my ideas and philosophies and folk actually listen...lol. Of course, Oprah and Harpo, Inc. awarding me 250,000 as a result of having won Oprah’s 1st Karaoke Challenge has helped with the bills... But it’s been awesome actualizing my “true life” and seeing folks around me affected and infected with good energy via my music. I’m grateful to Oprah because she gave a brotha $250,000, yes...lol, however my hearts gratitude is truly because I got the chance to see up close, someone who recognizes that when we access who we are truly called to be...other peoples lives change. I’m happy to be living what I believe is my “true life”. Last November, on the Oprah Winferey show I was awarded an amazing platform... Little did I know then that Oprah would hold my boarding pass to my best vacation ever!!! The vacation has gotten so good, that I’ve decided to stay! Lol.

Veteran Executive and “Star Maker” Antonio “L.A.” Reid served as a guest judge/ guru on Oprah’s 1st Karaoke Challenge... As a result of having seen me perform there, “The Boss” as I call him, decided to offer me an opportunity to record a song. That opportunity taught me what it was to fight for a dream... Nothing was promised, but the possibilities were absolute and endless. Song after song and session after session...we got it in...
