Join the third annual Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit (SOAW) as it takes over NYC on May 10, 11 and 12 (Mother’s Day Weekend) featuring an iconic lineup of talent.
Created and curated by the iconic GRAMMY award-winning singer and songwriter, Mary J. Blige, Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit is the only festival experience in the market, brought to you exclusively by an all-Black, female team, and will arrive this spring to the birthplace of Hip-Hop, New York City.

Blige and special guests 50 Cent, Jill Scott, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Muni Long, Lola Brooke, and Funk Flex; a Comedy Show featuring Tiffany Haddish, Don’t Call me White Girl, and Paris Sashay; Jazz Concert with Robert Glasper; and wrapping up an incredible weekend with a Gospel Brunch, hosted by Mary J.
