Mary J. Blige Bringing Strength To The Ladies In Atlanta

Pepsi and Queen of Hip Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige announced the Strength of a Woman Festival & Summit in Atlanta. The Festival will take place on May 6th-8th. 

The 3-day festival will be curated for and by women. Mary stated that “the idea for the festival came to us after early listening sessions of my latest album with my family and friends and women in the industry, Each time, the people in the room would share a story, oftentimes of heartbreak or pain, but they always ended with joy and love and how their girlfriends or mom or sister helped them find their voice and strength. We felt like after two years of being inside and having to endure so much, that this was the type of experience that people, especially women, deserved.” 

The festival will feature only female artists. Headliners include Mary J. Blige, Chaka Khan, Xscape, Ella Mai, City Girls, Kiana Ledé, and many more. The festival is also partnering with dozens of local, minority, and female-owned businesses and vendors.
