Los Angeles - OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network announced today that four of

episodes throughout the summer, making OWN great place for weekend
escapes as the temperature rises over the coming months.

It all begins Sunday, July 7 at 9 p.m. when the interactive
multi-platform series "Oprah's Lifeclass" returns to the primetime
lineup with a special 90-minute episode. Oprah is joined by one of her
favorite people -- life coach Iyanla Vanzant -- to continue the
conversation surrounding the growing epidemic of fatherless sons in
America, and to address the powerful public reaction to the
"Fatherless Sons" episode recently featured on the show. The crucial
conversation around the topic then shifts to women, as Oprah and
Iyanla expand the discussion to address "Daddyless Daughters" over two
original episodes (July 14 and July 21, both from 9-10 p.m.). Oprah
and Iyanla -- along with a global interactive audience that is
significantly changing the impact of the medium -- will discuss the
growing crisis that affects 24 million children in the United States
today, show how we are all impacted by this epidemic, and discuss ways
in which healing can take place for the men and women who grew up
fatherless.

five all-new episodes that will address a wide range of topics
impacting people from all walks of life. In the new season, host

relationship between R&B recording artist and reality TV star Syleena
Johnson and her mother. In other new episodes, Iyanla assists a couple
on the verge of divorce because of financial hardship and freeloading
family members and tackles the real story behind a mother behaving
badly.
