Ellen Degeneres

After high school, DeGeneres did not know what she wanted to do with her life. At the age of 19, one of DeGeneres’ friends was killed in a car accident and DeGeneres was living in an apartment basement with no money. She suddenly had a calling from God and realized she wanted to be the first woman on the Tonight Show and take the path of stand-up. However, this was a challenge for her to constantly hide her secret of her being gay. She was worried people wouldn’t listen to her and was living with shame and fear. Eventually, DeGeneres came to realization that she wanted to be honest with herself and she told everyone who she really was. Even though she did not receive any job offers for three years she knew she was doing the right thing due to the

Ellen Degeneres is one of the coolest muses there is because like you explain in your discussion she would have not being the great women she is today in the 1900's. And Society that existed in 1900's would not have given Ellen chance to show that we all can be great no matter what culture we belong to.

Ellen DeGeneres is a comical genius. She can take the most inane situations and use them to deliver punch lines with impeccable timing and inflection. Her warm and disarming deadpan combined with a quick wit has made her a favorite personality on daytime TV. Ellen’s comedy is based on intelligent observation rather than mean-spirited attack or scatological filler. The way she keeps us laughing, crying, and of course dancing, helps us live lighter, happier, better lives. So it’s a little preposterous that some are labeling her a racist for a recently tweeted meme about Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt.

Oprah has suffered from great loss, that she could touch with her audience if they ever experienced the same thing. I acknowledge Oprah for all the things she had conquered in her life because she worked her way to the top by working hard in her studies and she gave a voice to African American Woman all across the world through her influential talks during events and on her talk show “The Oprah Winfrey Show”. She has also showed massive amounts generosity and kindness to people by giving away thousands and millions of dollars in helping other organizations and people all across the world.

Ellen should be Person of the Year because she is motivational and selfless because she has given backpacks full of school supplies to kids that could not afford one and helping out a family that lost their father and the mother lost her job.

In today’s day and age one of the most influential women and people is Oprah Winfrey. Oprah has had a big impact on today’s society and played a huge role in advancing it. Oprah Winfrey is a talk show host, producer, actress and philanthropist who are widely respected around the world. By becoming one of the biggest names in talk show history Oprah has paved the way for others and became one of the more popular women in talk show history. Her willingness to help others and to be sure others are guided in positive light shows how much passion she has to see the greater good in others. Oprah’s biggest role comes from helping to pursue the advancement of young women and girls. Oprah has taken the time to see to it that young women are out of poverty and opening up a brand new school for underprivileged females to see to it that they have the same opportunity that children in America and other parts of the world have. Being that African- Americans, let alone women were not seen as marketable, Oprah helped to change this dynamic early in her career by using her platform in communication to open doors for other people. Winfrey’s work over a number of years is the single most evident reason why she has been able to be successful in the field of mass communication. Oprah is one of the most influential women of our time because of how well she is able to contribute to the human rights of women and advancing them in today’s society.
