Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton formally launched her candidacy for the U.S. presidency on Sunday, becoming the third officially declared candidate of the 2016 election cycle amid hopes to become the first female leader of the free world.
The news came via an email to party stalwarts from John Podesta, a top Clinton advisor and a loyalist, who said Clinton would soon embark on a tour in Iowa.
“I wanted to make sure you heard it first from me – it’s official: Hillary’s running for president,” Podesta said in an email addressed to Democratic supporters.
Her widely anticipated second bid for the White House comes as the former U.S. First Lady and junior senator of New York just this week unveiled a campaign headquarters in Brooklyn—one of New York City’s hippest redoubts and a bastion of Democratic votes.

Here what he has to say;
I was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and I was assigned the female gender at birth. Both of these facts amounted to one thing: I had no power, no respect, and no privilege, nor would I have much of any of these throughout my life. Add in that I came from a less than wealthy family and was, for all intents and purposes, a lesbian, and I became a truly invisible human being; when I wasn’t being ridiculed or abused, I basically did not exist.
