Oprah Winfrey: I am a Christian...I Wouldn't be Who I am Today Without My Faith

She is a media mogul, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist. Her multi-award winning talk show was the highest-rated program of its kind in history and was nationally syndicated from 1986 to 2011. Known as the "Queen of All Media", she has been ranked as the richest African-American of the 20th century by Forbes, the greatest black philanthropist in American history, and is currently North America's only black billionaire. CNN and TIME called her "arguably the world's most powerful woman" and TIME named her "one of the most influential people" from 2004 to 2011. In 2013, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama and received an honorary doctorate degree from Harvard University. In fact, Barack Obama would not be president of the United States without this woman. 

On April 23, 2012, while introducing her "Lifeclass Tour" to a Radio City Music Hall audience in New York City she made a public profession of her faith. She said, "I am not talking about religion. I am a Christian. That is my faith. I'm not asking you to be a Christian. If you want to be one I can show you how. But it is not required. I have respect for all faiths... My favorite Bible verse, because I am a Christian, is Acts 17:28. It says, 'In God I live, and move, and have my being.' And you want to know why I'm so successful? Because I knew that at four-years-old, I wouldn't be who I am today without that."
