theminoritypress.com(New York, NY) — Mary J. Blige, renowned singer-songwriter and advocate for women’s empowerment, is set to host the annual Strength of a Woman Summit and Festival in her hometown of New York City. The three-day event, taking place during Mother’s Day weekend from May 10-12, promises to be a celebration of resilience, inspiration, and empowerment for women of all backgrounds.
Blige, a nine-time Grammy winner, along with her superstar friends and industry experts, will lead a lineup of engaging activities, including concerts, comedy shows, panel discussions, and workshops. Notable guests joining Blige for the event include Taraji P. Henson, Tiffany Haddish, Jill Scott, Marsai Martin, Method Man, Larenz Tate, and more.
The summit aims to create a supportive environment where women can teach, support, and uplift each other. Blige’s vision for the event goes beyond entertainment; she seeks to provide resources and inspiration for attendees to achieve success in their personal and professional lives.
Blige launched the Strength of a Woman event in 2022 after recognizing the profound connection she shared with her female concertgoers. The festival has since evolved into a platform for sharing stories of overcoming adversity and fostering a sense of community among women.
“I’m doing my job by uplifting women and letting them know you’re not the only one. You can come here as a safe haven and receive comfort,” Blige stated.
The event will culminate in a massive concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, featuring guest appearances by 50 Cent, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, and more. Additionally, there will be a jazz concert at the Blue Note Jazz Club headlined by Robert Glasper and a comedy show at the Apollo Theatre featuring Tiffany Haddish.
