Checking in with Oprah

Backstory: My mother was new to internet/e-mail and only learned so she could communicate with me while I spent a year in Nigeria working with Doctors without Borders.
I used the www to find Oprah’s email. I wrote her an email. I explained that I wasn’t just writing to be on the show (I’m sure lots of people do that) but since she was the only person I knew who had been to Africa I wanted to see if she thought you would be safe. No word back…yet.

Love,
Mom

    Very adorable. I actually had to have a conversation with my mom about why hillary clinton always writes the same thing when she writes back to her, so I understand.
