These days, social media can be a powerful tool when it comes to spreading the word. No wonder those who are struggling to find a place under a competitive sun may turn to it as a last resource.
This is precisely what happened to 23-year-old photographer Malcolm Manning from Newark, New Jersey, who was eager to land a creative job or secure his next client. Malcolm shared a tweet with some of his photo samples, and sooner than he knew it, the guy landed a big fish. Oprah Winfrey not only retweeted his original tweet, but also responded with a legit job offer.

Oprah’s act of service was a part of her initiative to surprise unsuspecting Twitter followers over the holiday. Among other Christmas surprises, the veteran talk show host gifted a Macbook to a young man and made a donation to a woman from North Carolina who’s been traveling the state in a horse trailer with books for children to read.
And people just loved this cheerful story
