Mary J. Blige To Kick Off Strength of A Woman Festival in Atlanta

Mary J. Blige is bringing her inaugural Strength of A Woman Festival to Atlanta, Georgia, and judging by the star-studded lineup, the music event is here to stay.

Strength of A Woman Festival will take place on May 7th, 2022, with performances by Chaka Khan, Xscape, City Girls, Queen Naija, Omeretta, and Mary herself. While the concert itself is on May 7th, the festival is actually a weekend-long women empowerment collective that kicks off with a comedy night on Friday, May 6th, headlined by Ms. Pat, followed by the highly anticipated Strength Of A Woman Summit also on Friday. The summit will team up with local businesses to tackle wellness, beauty, tech, and music with appearances from Rubi Rose, Sevyn Streeter, and more.

Several panels will be taking place during the summit portion, including the “Storytellers” panel, brought to you by BET Studios. This conversion highlights the women working in music, television, and film. Building Beauty Brands From the Inside Out is another great panel for women interested in the world of beauty and launching their own businesses.

“Get dressed. Get decked out. Let your hair down. The strength of a woman is about us coming together to heal, to be examples for each other, and to do some partying,” Blige said of her music celebration.

Free tickets for the summit went live on April 21st at https://www.universe.com/soawsummit. Tickets and information on the rest of the festival can be found at www.soawfestival.com.

Blige is presenting the festival in collaboration with Pepsi and LiveNation.
