Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham We all know Oprah Winfrey as one of the few Black woman billionaires on this Earth. She and her partner, Stedman Graham, have never married, and Oprah is unapologetic about her desire to remain unwed. However, Stedman has no problem letting Oprah be herself, not just his woman. This partnership is a beautiful example of how men can and should show up for women, even if they’re as successful and self-sufficient as Oprah. We’re celebrating Black History Month by paying tribute to African American couples that epitomize true love. These couples and a host of others have kept love alive through the ups and downs of their jobs and lives, and we commend them for it. There are no ideal relationships, but these Black power couples inspire us to think anything is possible. These relationships are about more than love and picture-perfect shots. They show that an ideal relationship, like everything else, requires effort and a strong will to see it through.
