Mary J. Blige, the iconic singer and newly announced Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, is making a significant impact in her hometown of Yonkers, New York. Blige, known as the 'queen of hip-hop soul,' has launched the 'Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit' in partnership with Pepsi to give back to the community that supported her at the beginning of her career.
The festival and summit aim to uplift and educate underserved women in Yonkers. Through a collaboration with Pepsi, a fund of $100,000 has been established to provide grants to local organizations that work towards empowering women in the community.
