Mary J. Blige and Pepsi have joined forces again for the second annual Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit.
Following the success of its debut last year, Blige, and her partners Nicole Jackson, Vice President of MJB Inc., and Marketing Maven Ashaunna Ayars of The Ayars Agency will return this May with initiatives that further empower women of the BIPOC community. In partnership with Live Nation Urban, the event returns to Atlanta, GA, with four days devoted to music, comedy, female empowerment and community building between May 11th -14th.
This year’s event will kick off with a special live music event with Grammy Award winner Robert Glasper. It will be followed by an exceptional “MJB B-Sides” performance celebrating Hip Hop’s 50th Anniversary hosted by Kenny Burns. R&B superstars Lauryn Hill, Summer Walker, Lucky Daye, Muni Long, among others, will also take the stage.
“I’m so excited to bring our Strength of a Woman Festival & Summit back to Atlanta for its second year,” said Mary J. Blige, Founder of Strength of a Woman Festival & Summit. “Having the opportunity to continue to uplift, inspire, and build amongst a community of women is the reason why we created this festival. I’m so grateful for all of the support from our performers and participants and of course Live Nation Urban, Pepsi and our additional partners who are committed to celebrating and creating community for Black women.”
The fest will close out on Sunday with the PURPOSE BALL, produced by Miss Lawrence and featuring a special performance from Saucy Santana. Sunday’s festivities will also include Gospel Brunch and Concert featuring the Sunday Service Collective and a Comedy Show headlined by Mike Epps.
In between performances, attendees can also participate in programming and pivotal panels on wellness, tech, beauty, financial literacy and more.
