Mom Dreams of Being Oprah

Maria Salomao-Schmidt wants to live her dream to have her own talk show on the Oprah Network. Even though she’s a mom of five and business owner, she worked hard to make her video, which only went up on Tuesday of this week.

She is the underdog because others have been there since May and have millions of votes. The deadline is July 3 and she wants to get at least 2 million votes!
