Oprah calls them ‘Carriers Of The Light’. They are #OWNers, #OWN Ambassadors & #SuperSoulers.
I met each of them through twitter, through our common love of ‘Super Soul Sunday & all things OWN. All with a common interest to learn, grow & heal. They epitomize what my show KirstyTV is all about ‘sharing your story so you can heal yourself & heal others’. We invite you to watch their profound, personal videos below & please help us share and tweet the links below.
Interview 1 – Paolo Presta’s life was changed in three different ways by Oprah Winfrey. From working at his family’s grocery store to hosting his own talk show, A Spoonful of Paolo, coming out as gay and healing from a child molestation. Paolo sits down with me and shares how she helped him live a truthful life and pursue his dreams in the entertainment industry.

I was in the habit of telling God how to bless me. But my thinking is so much more limited than the creator’s. #KirstyTV
