Jennifer Hudson took home the Humanitarian Award last night at the People’s Choice Awards, but not before she gave an emotional speech. It’s safe to say it left everyone teary eyed as she encouraged and inspired every listening ear.

She said:

I have to start off saying the same thing I said when I won my Oscar — look what God can do![…]This all started back home at church where we grew up. My mother always taught us that without family you have nothing, and whether you know it or not, we all are family, and what happens to the other happens to us, so it’s very important to make a difference. And for me as a kid, all it took was…I don’t even know what star it was that came to my school. I said, ‘Wow. If they did it, that mean I can do it, too.’ And that’s what we want to instill in our children to let them know if I did it then you can do it, too. We’re so quick to say we can’t or it can happen to them, but it can’t happen to me. Yes, I’m a witness that it can happen to us all.
