Blige, who launched the Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit in 2022, said, “I’m so excited to bring our Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit to my hometown, New York City, a place that has always been a huge source of inspiration for me.”

“Having the opportunity to continue to uplift, inspire and build within my community is the reason I created this festival,” she added. “I’m so grateful for all the support from our performers, attendees and, of course, our partners Live Nation Urban and Pepsi. Nobody does it like New York, so get ready.”

Tasha Smith, Marsai Martin, Larenz Tate, Angie Martinez, Pinky Cole Hayes, Crystal Renee Hayslett, Misa Hylton, Bevy Smith, Claire Sulmers, Michael Rainey Jr. are among the other speakers at the summit in addition to Henson and Method Man.

The summit will have several other components, such as a tooth gem station, a lush build-your-own bouquet bar, “Mary’s Living Room,” a welcoming sanctuary featuring the varietals of the Sun Goddess wine collection, Sister Love’s bold jewelry designs and the specially made Strength of a Woman merch.

Those attending the summit can listen to the music and memories of Blige’s My Life in a unique listening booth, created as a special tribute to the 30th anniversary of the iconic album.
