“We really need to love on each other and uplift each other and enlighten each other and build each other up, says Mary to Insider. “And that’s what this festival is all about. It’s about uplifting and building and strengthening women.”
“Without us, what would there be? You know, there wouldn’t be no children, there would be no balance. We are necessary,” said Mary.
The award winning singer explains that she developed the idea for the festival alongside MJB Inc. vice president Nicole Jackson paired with marketing professional Ashaunna Ayar. “Women need each other right now, more than ever.”
