‘Great catching up with @oprah,’ she wrote. ‘Really enjoyed our chat on the challenges women face in politics and in business, and what Europe is doing about it.’

The conversation touched on shared passions - particularly the advancement of women and underrepresented communities. Roberta Metsola, a long-time advocate for gender equality in political spaces, found common ground with Oprah, whose life and career have been dedicated to uplifting others through storytelling, empathy, and advocacy.

Taking the moment one step further, Metsola extended a warm invitation for Oprah to visit Malta and Gozo, expressing her hope that the iconic figure would come experience ‘the magic of our Islands.’

Oprah Winfrey’s influence spans generations. From her groundbreaking 25-year run on The Oprah Winfrey Show to her work as a philanthropist, producer, and founder of the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), she has shaped culture and inspired millions. Her accolades include the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an honorary Oscar, and multiple Emmy Awards.

Women supporting women!
