Mary J. Blige is bringing her mission to empower women beyond her music to her hometown \u2014 with the help of the singer\u2019s superstar friends.<\/p>\n

Taraji P. Henson, Tiffany Haddish and Jill Scott and other stars and experts will join Blige for her Strength of a Woman Summit and Festival starting May 10. Her three-day event during Mother\u2019s Day weekend in New York<\/a> will feature concerts, comedy shows, a gospel brunch, panel discussions along with workshops focusing on technology, beauty, entrepreneurship and financial literacy.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, organizers announced additional speakers including Henson, Marsai Martin, Method Man, Larenz Tate, Tasha Smith, Michael Rainey Jr., Angie Martinez and Pinky Cole. The event will be hosted by comedian Jess Hilarious and podcaster Gia Peppers.<\/p>\n

SEAN \u2018DIDDY\u2019 COMBS’ LONGTIME FRIEND MARY J. BLIGE HAS FANS THINKING SHE’S BURNED BRIDGES WITH THE MUSIC MOGUL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re teaching each other, holding each other and uplifting each other,” the R&B singer said in a recent interview. “We\u2019re helping each other to sustain in our businesses and sustain in the mental health<\/a> and everything.”<\/p>\n

Blige launched the Strength of a Woman event in 2022 after years of seeing women at her concerts “hanging on every word like my life is theirs.” The singer felt she connected with concertgoers when she delivered her own deep stories of overcoming pain.<\/p>\n

“I was thinking to myself, \u2018Let me do something more than just sing to them,\u2019” said Blige, a nine-time Grammy winner who has won an Emmy, earned two Oscar nominations and will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame later this year.<\/p>\n

“In the middle of my songs, it just jumps out of me,” she continued. “Some kind of words of inspiration. People love that. My team and I thought, \u2018Why don\u2019t we just create a festival about the same thing?\u2019”<\/p>\n

After two successful years in Atlanta<\/a>, Blige moved her festival to her native New York City. She will hold a massive concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn with guest appearances by 50 Cent, Scott, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Lola Brooke and Muni Long. Robert Glasper will headline a jazz concert at the Blue Note Jazz Club while Haddish will hit the stage for a comedy show at the Apollo Theatre.<\/p>\n

Along with entertainment, Blige said she wants to provide resources that will help uplift and inspire attendees to achieve success in their lives.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m doing my job,” she said. “I\u2019m doing what I\u2019ve been sent here to Earth for. I\u2019m doing my job by uplifting women and letting them know you\u2019re not the only one. You can come here as a safe haven and receive comfort.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
