In this emotional conversation, Fantasia shares the personal inspiration behind her portrayal and how her character empowered her to heal her own past trauma. Oprah and Fantasia celebrate the sisterhood of the women at the heart of the story and the new dimension to Shug and Celie's relationship. Fantasia explains how she learned the power of forgiveness through her role and why she believes women, men and families will be healed by watching The Color Purple.
