Description

This week on IMO, Michelle and Craig sit down with the one and only Mary J. Blige for a deeply personal conversation about music, love, and learning to truly know yourself. Mary shares the story of how she discovered her voice at just seven years old after growing up watching her mother sing, and reflects on her journey from singing in the living room to becoming the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul. She opens up about the realities of the music industry and why educating yourself on your business is so important. Mary also gets candid about how music became her therapy, the power of self-forgiveness, learning to love herself, and why she’s now focused on becoming the best version of herself—not being chosen by someone else. Plus, she shares what fans can expect from her first-ever Las Vegas residency, talks fashion and acting, reveals some of the artists she’s listening to right now, and looks back on some unforgettable moments, including performing at the White House.
