O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017Living Out LoudJUICY MEMORIESI love that you chose Al Johnson’s restaurant in Sister Bay, Wisconsin, for your “U.S. of Yum” article. My husband spent many summer vacations in that town growing up, and we visited together four years ago. Our picks for the best bites on the menu? The paper-thin Swedish pancakes served with lingonberries and melt-in-your-mouth Swedish meatballs on the side. We plan to go back in 2018!GAYLE DUNCAN Concord, CaliforniaTASTE OF ADVENTUREThe green beans Oprah is shown serving in July’s “What I Know for Sure” looked phenomenal. As she mentions, food often plays a big part in travel memories; the best thing I ever ate was fresh vegetables from a farmers’ market in Holland, Michigan, where my mom and I stopped on a summer vacation long ago. Delicious, nutritious heaven!MARY…2 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017SCRUB-A-DUB-DUBWHAT DO YOU GET when you mix two brothers named Mohammed*, a buddy, and some good clean curiosity? Soapy Soap Company, an Indianabased business making a splash with bars of all-natural vegan goodness.The bubbly alliance began in 2008, when Anthony Duncan, then a sophom*ore at Indiana University, took a room in recent grad Mohammed M. Mahdi’s condo in Bloomington. While other guys their age were partying, these two got their kicks inventing: dog beds made of old sofa cushioning, incense holders, and eventually soap.“The deeper we dug,” says Duncan, “the more we realized how many artificial ingredients the conventional kinds have.” Multiple marathon soapmaking sessions resulted in a bunch of samples. Their first tester: Mohammed M.’s younger brother, Mohammed A. “I’d always just used store-bought brands,” says Mohammed A. “When…2 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017Sterling K. BrownBEST LITTLE-KNOWN FACTSixteen years ago, I was living in a fourthfloor walk-up in Harlem that cost $85 a week. During the summer, it got so hot that I’d ride the bus up and down 125th Street just for the air-conditioning.BEST CHILDHOOD MEMORYMy dad making me French toast for every birthday breakfast. On my tenth birthday, the last one I spent with him—he died the following year—I devoured a platter of it. Then he told me something was stuck under the plate.

O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017SELF, CENTEREDTHE OTHER DAY, a desperate-looking woman approached me on the street and grabbed my arm. I assumed she was about to ask for money—but she looked me in the eye and demanded, “Is it selfish that I want to go on a spiritual journey?”Now, this might seem like a bizarre question to be asked by a stranger, but I’m used to it. In the decade since I wrote Eat, Pray, Love, which is all about my own spiritual journey, I’ve been asked a variation of this question by thousands of women. (And I’ve certainly been accused of selfishness for having taken that journey.)Women constantly tell me they long to do what I did. Even if it’s not possible for them to travel the world for a year, they want to…3 min

O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017LISTEN UP, Doc!NEED A NEW HIP? FOOD AS MEDICINE THERAPY FOR ALLAMEANINGFUL CHAT with your physician could save your life— or at least help lengthen it. Even in this age of advanced scanning technology, your ability to clearly describe your health problems—and help your doctor understand them— is critical to getting an accurate diagnosis, says Danielle Ofri, MD, PhD, an associate professor of medicine at NYU School of Medicine and author of What Patients Say, What Doctors Hear. “Good communication with your doctor is the single most important medical tool you have to get and stay healthy,” Ofri says. In fact, research shows provider-patient conversation is so powerful, it can even numb pain: In one 2014 study, patients receiving a sham treatment for chronic back pain reported a nearly 55 percent decrease…4 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017EAT YOUR WAY TO BETTER HEALTHTOO OFTEN, WE TALK about the ways food can be a health hindrance, leading to conditions like heart disease and diabetes. However, doctors are learning more and more about its potential as a health helper.From the time you take a bite, every ingredient you consume sets out on an incredible journey, eventually interacting with cells that make up your organs, tissues, and vessels. As a cardiac surgeon and professor, I’ve seen firsthand how these interactions can influence health and recovery. And research involving patients with an artificial heart suggests that a key predictor of their health outcomes is the quality of their nutrition.But the health impact of what we eat extends far beyond the operating room. Many conditions or issues that are treated with a pill can probably also be…3 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017THE FAIREST OF THEM ALLCARINA CHOCANO’S You Play the Girl (Mariner) reads like a war cry. With dazzling clarity, her commentary exposes the subliminal sexism on our pages and screens. As females, she writes, we’re born into a world that “tells us not to trust our own eyes,” to “deny our feelings.”Structured to mirror Alice’s journey through Wonderland—the first section is “Down the Rabbit Hole,” the last “A Mad Tea Party”—the book is dedicated to the author’s daughter, Kira, whom Chocano hopes will one day reject the gauzy “pack of lies” embedded in, say, Sleeping Beauty, for the more complex appeal of Lewis Carroll’s heroine.It’s not only Carroll’s cottontails that interest Chocano. As a girl, the bunnies she saw posing in her grandfather’s Playboys informed her notion of desirability, though it was Bugs Bunny…1 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017THE COGNOSCENTIANYONE WHO BECAME addicted to the roiling emotions, betrayals, and violent showdowns of Breaking Bad will be seduced by Augustus Rose’s debut, The Readymade Thief (Viking). In this enigmatic novel set in a shadowy Philadelphia underworld, art is a drug that hooks the unwary, though the harder stuff comes into play, too. How are they related? Rose’s heroine, a resourceful teenager named Lee, must find out before she’s drawn into a cabal of ruthless aesthetes—nine men obsessed by Marcel Duchamp. This band of highly educated goons believes that his The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even, exhibited in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, contains secrets to wealth and power only Lee can unlock— secrets they believe will “alter the very fabric of space-time.”As the novel progresses, we learn that…1 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017Star Track“I think I am a genius,” the artist Yves Klein confessed to his diary in 1955, shortly before he mixed crushed lapis lazuli with an innovative clear resin to create one of history’s most famous hues. His patented International Klein Blue—unmistakable, mesmerizing, electric, alive—taught me that not all blues are created equal: Certain colors, just like people, have undeniable charisma, an It factor. They brighten our faces with the same effervescent ease with which a charismatic charmer brightens a party. When I test the thousands of new makeup shades that launch each year, I’m seeking out those with maximum star power—that new magnetic, insanely flattering purple lipstick or that glowing blue mascara that would make Klein proud.…1 min

For one thing, it’s the color of extravagant good health. Nothing says youthfulness and abundant energy like a rosy flush. But blush isn’t the only way to play with pink. From cottoncandy bright to the palest salmon, a pop of pink lip color can transform any look. Pair a bold, traditional smoky eye with a delicate, matte mauve; a neutral eye with a vivid Popsicle cherry. Or if you are blessed with beautiful skin (or have worked hard for it), just swipe on a blackest black mascara, and finish off with a raspberry lip.The most daring way to wear pink: as a bold eye shadow.

O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017Light ShowBack in ’97, my college friends and I pored over the pages of Kevyn Aucoin’s Making Faces between psych lectures and flip-cup tournaments. The preeminent makeup artist’s 160- page dissection of the face plus easyto- follow tips gave anyone—novice or zealot, utilitarian or dreamer, sorority sister or fraternity brother—the power to transform...or just simply tweak. One of my favorite images is of model Adia Caulibaly. Every millimeter of her already luminous face is dusted with gold glitter. (Ditto her hair, ears, neck, and skinny black tank strap.) Pure fantasy (save for our annual Space Odyssey party), the image is balanced with Kevyn’s IRL tip on the adjacent page: Spotlight cheeks or brows with a highlighting stick for a luminous, shapely lift. Twenty years later, we’re manic for metallics again—and in…2 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017FAITH HEALERWhen Saadia Faruqi moved from Pakistan to America in 1998, she didn’t expect to become a spokesperson for Muslims and Islam. But after 9/11, she was troubled by comments she’d heard or read online: “Take off your scarf—you’re in America now.” “The Quran teaches violence.” “Do Pakistani people live in trees?” Faruqi, a grant writer at the time, began writing about Islam for her local Houston paper and soon started leading stereotype-busting interfaith talks, first at her mosque, then at churches and synagogues. She discussed the tenets of Islam, shared insights on fasting and prayer, and opened up about life as a Muslim wife and mom. Word spread, and in 2011, Faruqi got a call from the Houston Police Department—the fifth largest in the country—inviting her to educate them as…2 min

Some of these people think they aren’t educated enough about an issue to talk about it. The truth is, that doesn’t matter.

O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017JUSTICE LEAGUEWhile writing a suspense novel in 2005, Laura Caldwell struggled with crafting one particular plot twist: Do innocent people really confess to murder? For guidance, she called an attorney friend who was defending a man named Jovan Mosley; he’d been arrested for a homicide he didn’t commit and confessed his involvement only after more than 24 hours of grueling police questioning—no food, no water, no bathroom break. Mosley was told that if he confessed, he could go home and sort things out later. Instead, he spent five and a half years in a Chicago jail, awaiting trial.Caldwell, who was also an attorney and law professor, was so stunned, she became co-counsel (pro bono) and helped get Mosley acquitted. Then she discovered another defect in the justice system: Mosley was released…2 min

I’ve been on the International Space Station since November 2016, doing bone density experiments, studying neutron stars, sharing zero-gravity meals with my crew, and admiring our fragile planet through the windows while we travel at 17,500 miles per hour.I grew up very introverted on a farm in Iowa; I was 9 when Neil Armstrong stepped out of Apollo 11’s lunar module onto the moon’s powdery surface. Even then, I recognized that I was witnessing something special. But it wasn’t until Sally Ride became the first American female astronaut that space exploration went from being my dream to being my goal.After working at NASA for more…1 min

O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017What I Know for SureONE OF THE greatest among the many aha teachings seared into my soul by my mentor-mother-friend Maya Angelou is the one about legacy. I’d just returned from the opening of my school in South Africa and was regaling her with all the details.“This school will be my greatest legacy,” I said. “It will make such a profound difference. It will change the trajectory of girls’ lives. It will impact generations to come.”I was pretty confident making those statements. And time has proved them true, as I witness the members of the first classes now blossomed into young women graduating from college and venturing into new areas of service and achievement.But Maya wasn’t hearing it. She stopped me cold. “You have no idea what your legacy will be!” she exclaimed. “Your…3 min

My beau offered to help peel, but only the one peeler, the old one, I told him, was up to the task. I’m actually not sure what to call this new man.

We grown-ups have all the advantages that come with being physically coordinated and legally employable: We can drive, shop, hike, demand anesthesia, go to the zoo just because we damn well want to. Generally speaking, growing up is pretty great.The problematic part is that some of us don’t quite finish the job. We may appear to be confident, competent adults, but at heart we’re actually angst-ridden, helpless kindergartners.

O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017FLEX TIMEIF YOU’RE YOUNG, fit, and healthy, your body is supposed to move when you tell it to, right? That’s what Robyn Benincasa, a 40-year-old San Diego firefighter, triathlete, and allaround badass, always thought. “Then one day, in the middle of a weeklong race of biking, kayaking, and mountaineering, my leg refused to take a single step,” Benincasa says. She’d had some pain in the front of her hips for two years, but assumed she’d pulled something that would eventually heal. She was wrong. A few weeks after her leg seized up, an orthopedic surgeon diagnosed Benincasa with advanced osteoarthritis in both hips. Translation: The cartilage that cushioned her joints had worn away, causing inflammation, pain, and stiffness that had finally stopped her short. After a few surgeries, Benincasa would eventually…6 min

Its teenage narrator, Eugenia—louche, lonely—has been dragged from her native Rome to the Valley by anarchist parents trying to make it in the movie business.As Eugenia walks the city, slipping out through her bedroom window while the adults sleep, she chronicles her adventures in a cool, psychedelic style that closely mirrors her efforts to experiment and fit in, whether through clothes, drugs, or sex.

While much of the debut novel is an exploration of racial tensions and a girl’s coming-ofa*ge, it’s also a stirring ode to a country’s painful maturation. In Beauty’s words: “When I struggle to see the stars, I also struggle to hear the voices of the ancestors. I think it is the same for all my people and that is why we are letting go of the old ways.”…1 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017The Masculine MystiqueNorwegian novelist and essayist Karl Ove Knausgaard bounded to fame with his sixvolume alpha memoir cum novel, My Struggle, gaining fans and foes alike as he obsessively dissected each millisecond of his life—a scientist locked away in the laboratory of his own ego. In his new book, Autumn, the first in a seasonal quartet, Knausgaard casts his gaze outward, crafting a lyrical collage of mini essays and letters to his unborn daughter. Pondering fall’s “vast cloud massifs...hanging motionless in the blue sky,” he also muses on objects as vessels of memory, or the cast of the sun just before dawn, “so faint it almost doesn’t seem to be light at all, merely a kind of enfeebling of the darkness.” On the other hand, he hasn’t completely abandoned his fascination with…1 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017Arch WaysThe season’s It brow is...oh, please. An It brow? That’s like having an It kneecap or It toenail length. The best arch is the one that looks good on you—and this can certainly change from day to day. Luckily, the beauty industry has gotten the memo and there are countless new products offering assistance. When I do a bold lip, for example, I like a soft, feathery brow, so I’ll define the tails with sketchy strokes of a pencil (one shade lighter than my brows), and then brush everything up and out with clear gel. Nude makeup calls for a stronger effect: I fill in the entire arch using a stiff brush dipped in a cream-gel color. Even on days I can’t be bothered with makeup, I’ll still use a…1 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017Soft WearWhile there’s something to be said for a polished, dressed-up red or a hint-oftint nude, when it comes to outright cool, nothing rivals a slightly smudgy, merlot-hued lip. The shade suggests its wearer is likely a woman of appetites— for berries, for wine, for kissing—and the soft-focus application implies she may have recently been partaking in any or all these passions with abandon. This look can be worn as a subtle stain or a bold daub of color—I lay the lipstick on thick, then tamp it down with tissue until I get just the right level of hazy imprecision. Then? I leave it alone, because to overthink it or try to correct any stray smears would be to miss the point: This is a mouth that says, “I choose to…1 min

O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017SPECIAL DELIVERYClaire Bloom was meeting with her book club in 2010 when a fellow member, a teacher, mentioned that some of her students had nothing to eat between lunch on Friday and breakfast at school on Monday. “I was absolutely stunned and appalled,” Bloom says of learning that kids were going hungry in her seemingly affluent New Hampshire community.Bloom marched down to the district office wielding her checkbook, only to be told they didn’t need money—they needed someone to get food to kids on Fridays. The challenge didn’t faze the 20-year veteran, who retired in 1998 as a lieutenant commander, the USS Constitution’s first female executive officer. “I said, ‘I can do that,’” Bloom says. “After being in the navy, it was no big deal.”Within months, Bloom and her husband used…2 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017’NET WORKINGJournalist Kassondra Cloos of Boulder, Colorado, is a die-hard fan of hiking, climbing, and other fresh-air pastimes, and writes mostly about outdoor-industry superstars. When Cloos saw a post by fellow writer and Boulderite Abigail Wise about a New York City Wikipedia edit-athon—an event whose goal was to get more notable women their own Wikipedia pages—she was shocked to read that 90 percent of the site’s editors are men. Cloos wondered how that would affect who was represented, so she searched for powerful women like Patagonia CEO Rose Marcario, former CamelBak CEO Sally McCoy, and ultrarunner Junko Kazukawa. Not one had a page. “Their achievements were missing from this public record,” she says.After exchanging tweets, Cloos and Wise had a mission: to recruit journalists to create entries about overlooked female visionaries.…2 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017HIT THE TOWN (HALL)!IT’S CROWDED, IT’S rowdy, and somebody’s always spoiling for a fight—just another Tuesday evening at your local dive...or town hall. Recently, these old-school sessions have cast off their fusty civics-lesson image and become raucous forums for democracy in action. Taking advantage of the face-to-face time is powerful stuff: In a 2017 report from the Congressional Management Foundation, a nonprofit that studies citizen engagement, 82 percent of congressional staff respondents surveyed said that in-person town halls are an important way lawmakers understand constituents’ views. “I’ve often been surprised by constituents’ perceptions about certain bills,” says California Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who is serving her 14th term. “I’m always grateful for the chance to look them in the eye and hear their concerns. Town halls are the clearest and simplest way for people…1 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017FINDING HEMOWith her blend of Japanese, Greek, Armenian, Egyptian, and Italian ancestry, 33-year-old Athena Mari Asklipiadis fits squarely in the mixed-race population, one of the top two fastest-growing racial groups in the U.S. Nearly a decade ago, she discovered one of the biggest hurdles people with mixed backgrounds face: finding a bone marrow match.After her aunt died of lymphoma in 2007, Asklipiadis was looking to get involved in cancer awareness activism when she heard about Krissy Kobata, a young mixed-race woman in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant to treat her myelodysplastic syndrome, a blood disorder that in some people will progress to leukemia. Successful bone marrow transplants rely on a match between the donor’s and recipient’s tissue type; because these types vary depending on ethnic background, some multiethnic people…2 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017A PLACE IN THE SUNEIGHT WOMEN ARE standing in a circle at the bottom of Crowders Mountain in Gastonia, North Carolina—on a day that will soon reach a stifling 87 degrees—and at least one of them is concerned. “Full disclosure: I am not an outdoors person,” says Lisa Toppin, a vice president at a financial services company in nearby Charlotte. “In fact, my husband laughed very hard at the idea of me coming out here—like the gut-clenching, crying sort of laughing. He kept calling it ‘the death march.’ Think of the person on the plane who’s white-knuckling it: That’s me if I have to be outside. People might say, ‘Hey, look at the salamander!’ But I don’t want to see him. He can do his own thing.” The group cracks up. Toppin adds, almost…10 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017EXPANSIVE TASTEMY COOKING IS all about reimagining the ingredients of West Africa to help others fall in love with the flavors, which is why I created my Jollof Fried Chicken. Jollof is a rice dish simmered in spiced tomato sauce, popular in Nigeria and Ghana. I first served it as street food in London, and my customers adored it. But the fried-chicken guy who was two stands down had a line. I wanted a line! So I started selling fried chicken, too. To add a taste of Ghana, I marinate mine with my Jollof Dry Spice Mix, the same blend I use to season the tomato base. It seems to be working: The succulent, crispy, sweet, and spicy chicken definitely has people queuing up.Jollof Fried ChickenMAKES ABOUT 4 SERVINGS ACTIVE TIME:…2 min

O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017Raising the BarFOR SOME BEER SNOBS, winning ales are measured by unusual infusions (coconut curry hefeweizen, anyone?) or rare strains of yeast. But for Beverly Armstrong, a semiprofessional rugby player turned brewer in Watertown, Massachusetts, a good thirst-quenching draft is as much about who’s clinking frosty mugs as what’s inside them. “In rugby, you have what’s called a drink-up with the other team after a match,” says Armstrong, who competed with the nationally ranked Beantown RFC (rugby football club) for 15 years while balancing a day job as a biotech executive. “It’s a great tradition because you won’t be too nasty in a game if you know you’re sharing a beer with the competition later.”It was during drink-ups on international tours that Armstrong first tasted session-style ale, a low-alcohol variety (typically under…2 min

O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017A Mighty MessI WAS RECENTLY chatting with an old college friend who told me, “I want to go back to school for nursing. I just need to lose ten pounds first— then I’ll be ready.”“Ready?” I asked. “What does ready have to do with anything?”How many dreams disappear in the abyss between “I want to” and “But first...,” including, almost, my own?Fifteen years ago, when I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I sat alone on my bathroom floor, struggling to reconcile three seemingly contradictory truths:1. I am a drunk with an eating disorder, so I can’t say yes to motherhood.2. I want to say yes.3. If I do, I’ll have to emerge from the hiding place of addiction and show up for whatever’s in store.Let me explain how…4 min

O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017Face OFFTHE DEFENDERSRetinolThe granddaddy of the antiaging avengers, this vitamin A derivative has been around since the ’70s, which means there are mountains of data on its efficacy. It works its magic by stimulating collagen production, giving you smoother, firmer skin—and lessening the appearance of fine lines. “Besides sunscreen, retinol is the number one product I recommend to my patients,” says Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research in the dermatology department at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. “It’s the foundation for any wrinkle-treating regimen.”NiacinamideThis topical ingredient—a form of vitamin B3—tackles excess pigmentation and brown spots by inhibiting melanin’s travel from the melanocytes (where it’s made) to the keratinocytes (the predominant cell type in the skin’s outer layer).

O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017CHANGING THE FACE OF THERAPYIN LATE 2013, Latoya Johnson tried to make an appointment with a therapist. Dialing number after number, she spoke to 80 answering machines all over New York City: “I’d like to see someone, well, because I can’t fall asleep,” she said. “And I don’t want to see friends.... I just feel like I’m not enjoying life in general.” She had a fairly flexible schedule (any weekday evening) and in every case specified that she had the insurance the therapist accepted. “Please call me,” she said. Though roughly half did call, only 17 offered her an appointment.The good news: Latoya Johnson isn’t a real person; the name was made up for a 2016 study in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior that assessed bias in therapy.

O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017JUST KIDSTHE NEW AMERICANS of Sour Heart (Lenny), Jenny Zhang’s stereotype-obliterating first fiction, are stuck in limbo. Christina, a young girl from Shanghai, struggles to grow up as her parents sacrifice themselves to the dehumanizing humiliations of poverty. In “The Empty the Empty the Empty,” the prettiest girl in the class seeks validation from her clueless boyfriend, and in “Our Mothers Before Them,” the ghosts of the Cultural Revolution haunt a family who believed they could kill the past by ignoring it. Though connected by their shared immigrant experience, these feisty narrators remain isolated, caught between traditions, quietly speaking a language all their own.But while her characters mostly keep their thoughts to themselves, Zhang has built her explosive young career on living out loud. She’s written about surviving an abusive relationship,…1 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017BlackishDANZY SENNA’S New People (Riverhead) is slender but powerful, as seductive and urgent as a phone call from an old flame. At first blush, the book seems like a straightforward love story—the saga of an engaged couple, Maria and Khalil, in mid-1990s Brooklyn—but it’s more complicated than that.Maria, who’s writing her dissertation on Jim Jones’s Peoples Temple cult, is biracial, while Khalil, a computer whiz who’s launching his own business, is black and Jewish. The two are appearing in a friend’s documentary, also called New People, about society’s multiracial future.That film title could also describe what’s on Maria’s mind. She’s become fixated on a member of the couple’s circle—”the poet.”Maria’s preoccupation with the poet occasions an exhumation of boyfriends past. As Senna takes us to Crazytown, she shows how profoundly…1 min

You veer toward lipsticks in splashy colors and decadently inky liners you never had the guts for.

But badass comes at a price— in the form of gentle cowashes, intensely hydrating conditioners to coax your chemically treated lengths back to life, and cocooning onceaweek masks. Yes, being bleached requires a little more work, a little more care, but oh, man, is it worth it.…1 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017Glow Getter“Kontouring”? So last year. This fall, the masses formerly mesmerized by YouTube tutorials are moving on to greener pastures where the aesthetic is more milkmaid fresh than reality star. Consider a world where kombucha is the new champagne, and personally, it’s no surprise that we all want to look like we just came from hot yoga. Of course, as a Bikram devotee, I can assure you that effortlessly dewy is not quite how I can describe my complexion after spending 90 minutes sweating in a 108-degree room. Luckily, high-tech new makeup and skin-care products have been designed to keep “you, but better” in mind. To achieve that glow—which, let’s face it, makes you look younger and healthier and therefore sexier—routine exfoliation is key, as is an arsenal of brightening serums…1 min
O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017POWER PLAYTodd County, South Dakota, is home to expansive blue skies, brutal winters (think 20-below temps and snow six inches deep), and one of the highest poverty levels in the nation. When the 2008 economic crisis forced Lakota tribe member Tamara Stands and Looks Back–Spotted Tail to close her office-supply company in Albuquerque, she returned to the Rosebud Indian Reservation in Todd County, where she was born. In her community, people were struggling to afford their utilities, and the electric company was shutting off the heat when bills went unpaid. An elderly man whose wife depends on an electric-powered oxygen machine told her, “Every month I worry that I won’t be able to afford to keep my wife alive.” Stands and Looks Back– Spotted Tail prayed for an answer.The message I…1 min

O, The Oprah Magazine|September 2017SINGULAR SensationWhy We Love ThemSome like it hot, while others... probably haven’t given chilies a fair chance. The piquant peppers come in hundreds of varieties that range from sweet and mild (like the shish*to) to spicy and explosive (like the cayenne), making them a choice ingredient for pumping up flavor in soups, scrambles, stir-fries, and more. Many are packed with health-promoting antioxidants, and, perhaps equally important, their vibrant hues guarantee a pretty plate.Fresh peppers should have firm, taut, and glossy skins. (Jalapeños may have small cracks around their stems.)Wear rubber gloves when handling hot peppers and wash your hands afterward. Capsaicin, the chemical that makes some chilies spicy, can burn and irritate your skin and eyes.PREP SCHOOL To cook with a chili, cut off the stem, slice the pepper in half…3 min
