During her successful career, Oprah Winfrey has openly discussed her experience with s**ual abuse inflicted by family members.
However, she has rarely spoken about the child she gave birth to at the tender age of 14 and tragically lost soon after.
In a surprising revelation, she shared this heartbreaking story with a crowd of 15,000 people during her one-woman show tour in Melbourne, Australia.
According to the New York Daily News, Winfrey acknowledged the pain of losing her son at such a young age.
She disclosed her harrowing past of being s**ually assaulted by multiple family members, starting at the age of nine.
This candid admission shed light on the immense suffering she endured during her teenage years.
Winfrey confessed that due to the overwhelming emotions of pain and shame surrounding her pregnancy, she never named her newborn son.
It was only recently, during an interview before her visit to Australia, that a reporter suggested she give her deceased baby a name.
Taking this suggestion to heart, she decided to christen her son Canaan.
The name “Canaan,” derived from the Bible, holds significant meaning for Winfrey.
She chose it because it symbolizes new land and new life.
This name resonates with her personal journey of overcoming adversity and finding redemption
