Mary J. Blige excited to bring festival to New York City. Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit 2024 will be taking place in New York City. Marking the only festival presented by an all-Black, all-woman team, the empowering three-day event runs from 10-12 May for America's Mother's Day weekend. ”It means so much to bring it home.” The festival has moved to New York from its previous base in Atlanta. ”This is where I wanted it to be originally, but we ended up in Atlanta for two years, and it was successful. I love Atlanta.” ”Atlanta's home too, but it just feels amazing to have it at home where I was born and raised.” The festival features a stacked lineup of celebrities appearing at various events in the city throughout the weekend, including the Strength of a Woman Summit at The Glasshouse, where veteran radio host Angie Martinez will chair panels and workshop. ”It's been amazing and exciting and just so fulfilling to do what I always wanted to do, continue to give people a piece of me, uplift us, inspire us and elevate us.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
