Talking about her recent ups and downs with the magazine, it was her role as sharecropper Florence Jackson in Mudbound that made her reflect on who she is in terms of beauty and strength. She told New York Magazine, “I wear wigs, I wear bob wigs, and I had to completely strip down to my own natural hair texture, which I’ve always been afraid of. Dee stripped me down all the way to what I truly am, and people were complimenting me. People were saying how beautiful I was. I didn’t know I was that beautiful for real. You understand what I’m saying? I didn’t know that.”

Well, with that knowledge comes power. And Mary continues to carry both her beauty and power gracefully. She states, “I learned that I’m a really powerful woman. I mean, other than just being Mary J. Blige, the superstar, I learned that I’m powerful because I don’t have to say much to be heard.”

Continue being the beautiful person that you are, Mary! Read more of what she has to say here.
