In a twist from its first two years, Mary J. Blige’s Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit is moving from Atlanta to hip-hop’s birthplace, New York City. Presented by the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul and Pepsi in partnership with Live Nation Urban, the annual event will take place once again during Mother’s Day weekend: May 10-12.
Highlighting this year’s three-day slate will be a concert at Barclays starring Blige and special guests 50 Cent, Jill Scott, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Muni Long, Lola Brooke and Funk Flex. Also on the festival lineup: a comedy show at the Apollo Theatre featuring Tiffany Haddish, Don’t Call Me White Girl and Paris Sashay; a jazz concert at the Blue Note with Robert Glasper and a Blige-hosted gospel brunch at the Brooklyn Chophouse in Times Square followed by a gospel concert headlined by The Clark Sisters with Femme It Forward at Brooklyn Paramount.
The Strength of a Woman Summit will take place at The Glasshouse on May 11. Hosted by Angie Martinez, the programming will include a series of inspiring and empowering panels, keynote speakers and workshops focusing on music, wellness, technology, beauty and financial literacy.
