Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called herself “a person of faith” Saturday at the Stellar Awards in Las Vegas ahead of her win against Sen. Bernard Sanders in Nevada’s Democratic caucuses.
“I am so grateful because the artists and the arrangers and the writers tap into something so deep,” she said of the gospel performers honored at the Stellar Awards, which airs March 6 on TV One, CNS News reported. “I am a person of faith, and I’m a person who finds inspiration and support and meaning in many different ways, but what’s better than raising your voices to God and being able to connect that brings others along with you.
“We’re in the middle of these caucuses here, but it lifted my spirits to come, to really express my appreciation,” Mrs. Clinton told NewsOne Now. “There’s a lot of really difficult things out there in the world today. I’ve been in Flint, Michigan, recently. It’s just heartbreaking to see a community being poisoned because of the indifference, neglect of their governor.
“And yet, I went to a house of prayer, and the resilience, the love and so much of it was communicated in the gospel singing that was going on, so I’m someone who needs it myself, and I’m grateful to everyone who helps provide it,” she said.
