Posted on March 24, 2022 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Mary J Blige continues to win! The R&B legend is not only doing well as an artist, she is also dominating as a performer and promoter.

We all witnessed her stunning performance at the Super Bowl a few weeks ago, where she stood as the only woman among the men and delivered a set that is still being talked about today.

She then announced a festival and summit titled Strength Of A Woman; an event she is doing in partnership with Pepsi. Its objective is to empower, elevate and educate women on Mother’s Day weekend (May 6-8) in Atlanta. Well shortly after it was announced, tickets sold out! That’s the strength of MJB.
