What Oprah Knows For Sure About the Power of Social Media

Social media has changed the way we see each other—literally. And enhanced the way we communicate with the world. Everybody gets a stage to proclaim, "This is not just what I'm doing—this is who I am and what I love!"
I marvel at the instant connection, at the power of these new platforms. I try to use them judiciously. I'll have a tweetfest during shows I like...#SuperSoulSunday. I use Facebook to spread ideas and get feedback...like with OWN's multicultural spirituality series #Belief. On Instagram, I share moments that make me smile. (If you ask me, pictures are worth thousands of words.)
When the haters show up, I shut down. I've learned not to respond to negativity. Responding only gives it more voice and power.
What I know for sure: For me, social media is about spreading the frequency of good vibrations.
Hope you enjoy some of my favorite Insta smiles....
