The original version of the film changed my life as a kid and helped me to blossom into a woman who, for the most part, courageously uses her voice to stand up for herself, set boundaries, and express her feelings.
I wouldn’t be who I am without the female influence of Whoopi Goldberg (Miss Celie), Oprah Winfrey (Miss Sophia), and Margaret Avery (Shug Avery), but I didn’t realize, until recently, just how deeply their influence shows up in my everyday life.
Press play to learn how this discovery has me rethinking the way I navigate life as a woman.
