For the first time in over two decades, Oprah Winfrey is nowhere to be seen on the cover of O magazine. Instead, Breonna Taylor is front and center. ⁠

The decision to place Taylor on the September issue’s cover — one of the long-running publication’s final print editions before it goes completely digital — was explained by Winfrey on the publication’s website. ⁠

“She was just like me,” Winfrey wrote. “She was just like you. And like everyone who dies unexpectedly, she had plans. Plans for a future filled with responsibility and work and friends and laughter.”⁠

Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT, was shot eight times by officers with the Louisville Metro Police Department on March 13, after they entered her apartment with a no-knock drug warrant searching for another suspect. ⁠

Winfrey continued her statement, outlining a personal conversation she had with Taylor’s mother, Tamika Palmer, who was “having a particularly bad day dealing with the loss and the grief of knowing that her daughter is gone forever.” Winfrey explained that Palmer couldn’t stop seeing Taylor’s face and smile everywhere she looked, and was constantly grieving over the harsh reality that no one had been charged for the “reckless” killing of her daughter.⁠

“Imagine if three unidentified men burst into your home while you were sleeping,” Winfrey wrote, describing the circumstances of Taylor’s death, “and your partner fired a gun to protect you. And then mayhem ... We can’t be silent. We have to use whatever megaphone we have to cry for justice. And that is why Breonna Taylor is on the cover of O magazine. I cry for justice in her name.” ⁠
